OPS to take out yatra across TN from Sep 3

Chennai: Expelled AIADMK leader and former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, O Panneerselvam (OPS) will take out a yatra across the state from September 3 onwards.

The yatra named ‘Puratchi Payanam’ (Revolutionary campaign) will kick-start from the residence of late CN Annadurai, the first Chief Minister of DMK and Dravidian icon at Kancheepuram. The loyalists of Panneerselvam have advised him to distance from the BJP so that other communities including minorities would support the party in large numbers.

OPS camp is satisfied at the success it gained in the state wide campaign against the slow pace of probe in the Kodanad heist-cum-murder case. OPS has also gained grounds in South Tamil Nadu after the Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (AMMK) leader, TTV Dhinakaran also joined hands with him and conducted a joint agitation in the same case.
