Making a late night appearance outside her residence in Chennai, AIADMK General Secretary VK Sasikala said that the DMK has plotted this conspiracy against her.

"DMK is behind Panneerselvam's revolt against me. He will be expelled from the party," she said.

"No confusion or problem in our party. We are united like a family," said Sasikala as she waved to supporters outside Poes Garden.

She further added, "I did not force O Pannerselvam for anything. What he is saying is not correct."
