O. Panneerselvam, ex-Tamil Nadu CM and expelled AIADMK leader joins DMK in Stalin's presence

Former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister O. Panneerselvam has joined the DMK party after his expulsion from AIADMK. This move follows AIADMK leader Edappadi Palaniswami's decision to welcome T.T.V. Dhinakaran into the NDA, a move Panneerselvam reportedly opposed. Panneerselvam's supporters believe joining the DMK is the only way to challenge Palaniswami.
