With former Tamil Nadu chief minister O Panneerselvam announcing protests and processions in each constituency opposing Edappadi K Palaniswami's appointment as the new chief minister, the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam has called on the former to stop his futile efforts, as the 'truth' has prevailed.

Speaking to ANI, AIADMK spokesperson Vaigai Selvan said that supporters of OPS are now fighting against the party and it must be stopped at all costs.

"OPS is saying he will meet people across districts now. He can go wherever he wants, but the truth is on our side and I'm sure that truth will win," he said.

Panneerselvam visited Jayalalithaas memorial on Thursday night and spent some time there with his supporters.

He asserted that the people were against the new government.

"Until this government is removed, we will not sleep or rest. The people don't want this government," he said. -- ANI
