A day after calling VK Sasikala and talking to her about party-related matters, O Raja, the brother of AIADMK top leader O Panneerselvam (OPS) was expelled from the party on Saturday.
Raja was removed from the party’s primary membership for violating party discipline and working against party principles, AIADMK coordinator Pannerselvam and co-coordinator K Palaniswami said in a joint party statement. In a disciplinary action, three other officials, also belonging to the party district of Theni, such as Raja, were fired.
Confidant of the late AIADMK matriarch J Jayalalithaa, Sasikala was relaxed from the party years ago. She embarked on a two-day tour of southern Tamil Nadu on March 4, where she met her supporters. Raja visited her in the temple city of Tiruchendur and had discussions with her about party-related matters.
