Palaniswami remains AIADMK general secretary, the party would continue to lose every election, said O Panneerselvam, who was previously expelled from the party, and is now the DMK candidate for the Bodinayakanur Assembly constituency. Filing his nomination for the upcoming Assembly election on Monday, he told journalists Mr. Palaniswami has no gratitude at all. “Everyone knows how and who made him the Chief Minister. Should he not be thankful to ‘Chinnamma’ (V. K. Sasikala)?” he asked.
