Chennai: Former foes O Panneerselvam and TTV Dhinakaran turned friends on Monday night, brought together by the common factor that they both have been ousted from the AIADMK. The Former Chief Minister also said that he would work with AMMK Chief TTV Dhinakaran if there was an opportunity. This report is auto-generated from PTI news service. Disgruntled AIADMK leader O Panneerselvam on Friday indicated that he would meet expelled AIADMK leader VK Sasikala and AMMK Chief TTV Dhinakaran soon and said will join forces with the duo if needed to maintain party unity. The arrangement would be similar to that of ties between the CPI and CPI(M), they had said. TTV Dhinakaran - He is an Indian politician who served both Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha and created history by winning RK Nagar election as an independent. On Monday, OPS called on Dhinakaran and the leaders announced a working arrangement to take on both the Palaniswami-led AIADMK and the ruling DMK in Tamil Nadu. The cat is out of the bag,” Palaniswami claimed. Dhinakaran is the nephew of Sasikala and the duo were eased out of the party in 2017 after OPS and Palaniswami, now general secretary of the AIADMK, merged their respective factions. “Whatever we have been saying (on OPS) is true. TTV Dhinakaran-led AMMK is contesting Tamil Nadu Elections in alliance with AIMIM. “It has now been proven that Panneerselvam is DMK’s B-team.” The cricket match was just OPS’ pretext, he claimed. There is no problem had he watched only the match,” he said adding Panneerselvam had a chat with V Sabareesan, son-in-law of Chief Minister M K Stalin, at the sporting venue. “Panruti Ramachandran has no following at all.” The AIADMK chief said his party’s stand that OPS functioned as DMK’s “B-team” has been proven. Ramachandran was with the AIADMK and later switched over to the PMK and then joined the DMDK, Palaniswami said. Palaniswami hit out at veteran politician Panruti S Ramachandran for siding with OPS. ![]() In what appeared to be a kind of caution to Dhinakaran, Palaniswami said: “Dhinakaran’s camp is becoming empty…the scenario is that of a camel entering the tent (The Arab and the Camel story),” he added. ![]() Pointing out that well-known OPS loyalists - R Vaithilingam, Paul Manoj Pandian and J C D Prabhakar - were not present in the meeting between OPS and TTV on May 8 in Chennai, he said: “They are missing”.

The outcome of their association, hence, would be “zero plus zero”, Palaniswami said, apparently hinting that their ties would have no impact or consequence for the AIADMK.
