The General Council meeting of the AIADMK backed Edappadi Palaniswami's push for a "single leadership" in the party.
The tussle for control of Tamil Nadu's opposition AIADMK intensified on Thursday, with the party chief O Panneerselvam walking out of a key meeting as senior leaders backed a demand for "single leadership" by rival Edappadi Palaniswami.
As soon as the General Council meeting began amid chaotic scenes of slogan shouting, the process of passage of 23 pre-decided resolutions was taken up.
The first of them was proposed by Mr Panneerselvam known as OPS and seconded by Mr Palaniswami known as EPS, who addressed the former as "brother" in his brief remarks.
However, senior leader Shanmugam, who was recently elected to the Rajya Sabha, announced that all resolutions "are rejected by the General Council".
