CHENNAI: An AIADMK party flag hoisting function in Madurai on Saturday has brought to the fore the simmering feud between the two factions headed by chief minister Edappadi K Palaniswami and his deputy O Panneerselvam.

At the function, Palaniswami hoisted the party flag to celebrate the reclamation of the party name and symbol. Despite being in Madurai, OPS did not attend the function because he was not extended an invitation.

Also, local MP N Gokulakrishnan and MLA S S Saravanan, both belonging to the OPS camp, were not invited for the function. Party Rajya Sabha MP V Maithreyan said neglect was causing heartburn among OPS supporters.
