Ousted AIADMK leader K.A. Sengottaiyan has accused Edappadi K. Palaniswami (EPS) of being the DMK’s ‘A1’ and a betrayer, claiming he suggested EPS take charge after Jayalalithaa’s death for party unity. Sengottaiyan, a 53-year party veteran, expressed pain over his expulsion, stating EPS acted dictatorially and breached party rules by removing him without explanation.
