Former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister O Panneerselvam expressed disappointment after Sasikala pick Edappadi Palanisamy won the vote of the confidence in the state Assembly on Saturday, by a margin of 122 to 11.
“We tried for a secret ballot, but despite our efforts it was not possible,” he said speaking to media.Panneerselvam criticised the manner in which the Opposition DMK had been evicted from the House by the Speaker.
He also said that the MLAs who had voted against him would now have to answer to the people.
“Whether MLAs will be able to enter their constituencies after this is the question. The voters have been betrayed by MLAs. As they come out of the Assembly, they won’t be able to answer questions here as well as to the people,” he asserted.
“When Amma had expelled the members, she had said that she would never allow them into the party. This dispensation does not represent Amma,” the former CM claimed.
