Sengottaiyan Joins OPS and TTV at Thevar Memorial as EPS Threatens Action

The display signals a direct challenge to Edappadi K. Palaniswami’s leadership before the 2026 polls.

Overview

  • At Pasumpon in Ramanathapuram, K. A. Sengottaiyan appeared with O. Panneerselvam and TTV Dhinakaran for Devar Jayanthi, jointly garlanding the statue and performing arti with the same plate.
  • TTV Dhinakaran said the trio vowed to restore the legacies of M. G. Ramachandran and J. Jayalalithaa and framed their stance as defending Amma’s principles.
  • Edappadi K. Palaniswami labeled OPS, Dhinakaran and their supporters the DMK’s “B team” and blamed such “betrayers” for the AIADMK’s 2021 defeat.
  • Palaniswami warned that anyone acting against party interests will face disciplinary action and dismissed reports of any alliance talks with Vijay’s TVK as a media creation.
  • Sengottaiyan had been stripped of party posts after urging unification in September but remains a primary member, and he and OPS also met V. K. Sasikala during the visit.
