For the ADMK cadres, the days of waiting for the meeting had ended in minutes amid the fact that the years-long leadership crisis is still been boiling. 

The Madras High Court had a midnight hearing on Wednesday and passed an order at 4 am on Thursday in which it banned the talks of the unitary leadership in the key meeting.

The recent events suggest that Panneerselvam's prospect of becoming the party's General Secretary is dimming. 

The top meeting would go as planned and the preparations are underway in Chennai and amid the leadership crisis, the climax is brewing to witness the winner of the battle. 

The party's head office in Chennai has witnessed a clash between the cadres which has further revealed the magnitude of the political crisis in the party. 

Known to be the supporter of Edappadi Palaniswami, Arukutty has thrown a bombshell in the party demanding that both the leaders must step resign from the party.

By citing that everything was going well with the present dual leadership system, Panneerselvam had expressed his surprise over the sudden clamour for a single leadership. 

The voice for the single leadership in the party wasn't new but this time, the chorus for the single leader is accepted and backed by the senior leaders, who once rejected such claims.

Kandasamy has approached the Chennai Police Commissioner and lodged a complaint against Viswanathan for cheating the money with the fake job promises. 

Her supporters affirm that she will venture into politics but perplexion remains as their answer to the question of where she would begin.
