AIADMK’s interim general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami’s pick to fight the Erode East by-poll, Thennarasu will file nomination today. Filing of nomination comes to an end on Tuesday. The protracted legal-battle ended in favour of EPS and the Election Commission has authorised Tamizh Magan Hussain for AIADMK’s official communication on Monday. O Panneerselvam, having no choice but to bite the bullet, conceded Edappadi K Palaniswami’s intraparty numerical strength and has decided to support ‘two leaves’ not Thennarasu. Senthil Murugan, OPS faction’s candidate, has withdrawn his nomination.
