Tamil Nadu deputy chief minister O Panneerselvam expels brother O Raja from AIADMK
AIADMK expelled Tamil Nadu deputy chief minister O Panneerselvam’s brother ORaja from primary membership of the party for indulging in anti-party activities.
Tamil Nadu deputy chief minister O Panneerselvam on Wednesday ousted his brother O Raja from AIADMK for contesting a local milk cooperative elections against his wishes.
In a joint statement, Pannerselvam and chief minister Edapaddi Palaniswami said Raja had acted in a manner that brought disrepute to the party and violated party discipline. So he was expelled from the primary membership of the party.
Raja was a former panchayat president of Periyakulam in Theni district. He had contested and won the elections for milk cooperative Aavin in Madurai, against the wishes of Panneerselvam.
Apparently, Raja was also not happy with Panneerselvam who was promoting his son in politics.
Pannerselvam and Palaniswami also asked party workers not to have any links with Raja.
