The party expects Panneerselvam to challenge the manner in which PWD and highways minister Edappady K Palanisamy was declared leader of the AIADMK legislative party and expects the scenario to become clearer when party MLAs leave the resort where they are holed up.
“We need to see how many of the MLAs who signed in favour of Palanisamy stick to their stand or turn up at Panneerselvam’s residence,” said a senior BJP leader.
