Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edappadi K Palanisamy and O Panneerselvam on Monday sealed the deal for the merger of the two factions of AIADMK.
After announcing the merger, Palanisamy said that a 11-member coordination committee will run the party. Panneerselvam will be the convener of AIADMK, I will be the co-convener and KP Munusamy will be the deputy co-convener, Palanisamy said.
“Our first priority will be to retrieve the two leaves symbol. We will fulfill all the promises made by Amma,” Palanisamy said. “Amma (Jayalalithaa) has said before that after me AIADMK will last over 100 years. We all will make sure it happens,” he added.
The merger comes after the recent meeting of both Palansamy and Panneerselvam with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi. Both EPS and OPS had met Modi seperately in the national capital.
