EPS-OPS posters war hots up in south
Madurai: 12.06.2021
Poster wars are hotting up within the AIADMK in the southern districts, with those supporting former chief minister and party joint coordinator Edappadi Palaniswami appearing in Tirunelveli and those in favour of party coordinator O Panneerselvam surfacing in Theni as well. The posters demonstrate the open rift between the EPS and OPS factions.
The ones which appeared in many parts of Tirunelveli district including Mannur two days ago blamed Palaniswami for the AIADMK debacle in the elections. They said his high-handedness and decisions without consulting O Panneerselvam cost them dearly and that the mantle should be handed over to OPS. A complaint has been filed. On Thursday, some posters thanking the MLAs for electing Palaniswami as Opposition leader appeared at Thalaiyoothu in the district. AIADMK sources said cadres loyal to the party are left confused due to such actions of their seniors.
Meanwhile, posters hailing OPS as “protector of the AIADMK fortress”, were put up on behalf of Theni district fishermen’s wing of AIADMK on the Theni- Madurai road.The poster wars are expected to increase before the party’s legislative party meeting on Monday.
