New Delhi: Former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister O Panneerselvam’s AIADMK Cadres Rights Retrieval Committee on Thursday announced its decision to exit from the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA). The decision was taken by Panneerselvam’s faction hours after he met incumbent Chief Minister MK Stalin during a routine morning walk in Chennai.
The announcement was made by Panneerselvam’s supporter Panruti Ramachandran while speaking to reporters in Chennai. He further said that Panneerselvam, who is popularly known as OPS, will tour several parts of the state in view of the assembly elections, scheduled to be held next year.
“We are breaking the relationship with the NDA alliance. AIADMK Workers Rights Retrieval Committee Co-ordinate O Pannerselvam will start a campaign across Tamil Nadu very soon. As of now, there is no alliance with any party. In future, depending on circumstances, a decision on alliance would be taken. The reason for this is well-known; there is no need for explanation,” Panneerselvam was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
