Days ahead of the arrival of VK Sasikala, the ADMK party is on high alert to ensure that no member in the party sides and supports the expelled general secretary after her arrival. Amid the heated political speculations over Sasikala's come back, the ADMK leaders Edappadi Palaniswami and Panneerselvam are staying vigil and extensively monitoring whether there is any formation of the pro-Sasikala wave within the party and both of them are sacking the members from the party for showing support for VK Sasikala. 

The ADMK leaders are hoping to build a political system that won't be collapsed by VK Sasikala and to bring the party under their control, both the leaders have now removed the party members from the party for reportedly putting up posters welcoming VK Sasikala. 

The ADMK leaders had firstly expelled Subramania Raja from the party for erecting posters in welcoming Sasikala. Subramania Raja had been serving as a deputy district secretary of ADMK in Tirunelveli and he shocked the ADMK leaders by putting up the posters in support of Sasikala by welcoming her on January 27, after she completed her prison sentence. 

The ADMK party had said that he was removed due to anti-party activities. While the ADMK leaders believed that the party would take the removal as a warning, they were further shocked to witness another poster in support of Sasikala and this time from Trichy. For the second time in two days, the leaders had expelled the member in Trichy from the party. According to reports, ADMK member Annadurai had put the posters in support of Sasikala, welcoming her back to Tamil Nadu from the prison. 

Annadurai belongs to the Trichy district and was the party's south district representative in Andhanallur. He was also the former ward member of district local administration and he had put up a poster welcoming Sasikala in which he described her as the general secretary of ADMK and leader of sacrifice. The posters carried the pictures of Jayalalithaa, Sasikala, and Annadurai. The visuals of the posters had shocked the ADMK leadership, which has been vowing to contain the resurgence of Sasikala. 

The top two leaders had expelled Annadurai from the party for putting up the posters in favor of Sasikala. In a statement, the ADMK said that Annadurai has acted against the principles of the party and has brought disrepute by violating guidelines set by the party regarding the conduct of its members. By stating that Annadurai has been sacked from all of his posts including that of a basic member, the party had warned the other leaders and members not to have any contact with him. 

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and ADMK's Co-convenor Edappadi Palaniswami has multiple times asserted and made it clear that Sasikala will not be welcomed back to the ADMK. It must be noted that VK Sasikala has got released on January 27 from the Parappana Agrahara Central Prison in Bengaluru where she was serving a four-year prison sentence. Last week, Sasikala had developed breathing difficulty and tested positive for the COVID-19 viral infection and she has been currently getting treated in Bengaluru's Victoria Hospital and the reports say that Sasikala would be arriving in Chennai during the first week of February.
