Palaniswami holds meet at Poes Garden, OPS vows to hit back

February 16, 2017 14:25

Just in: OPS supporter sets himself on fire over the upcoming appointment of Sasikala-nominee Edappadi Palaniswami as the next CM. There is a lot of anger and anguish at the imminent control of Sasikala's family over the government. Her nephew TTK Dinakaran is likely to get a ministerial berth, a day after he was made a deputy general secretary of the party. A PIL has also been filed in Madras High Court against Palaniswami's swearing-in, as well.

And finally, the 124 MLAs who were closeted at the Golden Bay resort near Chennai will leave the resort today. They have been there since February 9.

Palaniswami is now holding a meeting at Poes Garden.
