#ADMKECmeet

Sources : To the disappointment of EPS, ADMK EC meet is not going peacefully.

OPS starts speaking just now in the ADMK Executive Counsil meet. Both sides flexed muscles and tried to prove their strength. 1/n

Senior ADMK Leaders, Thambidurai, KA Sengottaiyan and Dindigul Srinivasan were firm that the CM candidate issue should be finalized today itself and it should not be postponed. (Read as the voice of Mannargudi Mafia)2/n

The suggestion of Panrutti Ramachandran that instead of Steering Committee, a body like that of Polit Bureau of Communist parties may be formed to avoid controversy. But this suggestion was noisily shot down. 3/n

Gokula Indira sounded a note of caution indicating the Mannargudi Mafia. She said, due to the forthcoming entry of ‘certain characters’ party may face trouble and to face this unity is essential. 4/n

OPS supporter JCT Prabakaran was vociferous. He openly charged EPS that he has victimized OPS supporters by sidelining them in party.

Minister Thangamani sounded a conciliatory note. He threw his weight behind CM and said, it was EPS who saved this government 5/n

and party together. But for him the party would have split into several factions. So, let’s put the controversy to rest said Thangamani. But he too was shot down. 6/n

Surprisingly, CVe. Shanmugam who sounded a revolt in the last meeting threw his weight fully behind CM EPS. 7/7
