EPS-OPS Win Battle for AIADMK’s Two Leaves Symbol

In a massive victory for the ruling faction of the AIADMK party, the Election Commission on Thursday announced that the party’s two leave symbol would be assigned to the merged EPS-OPS camp.

This decision comes eight months after the EC freezed the symbol.

It also comes after EC heard arguments from the two factions of the AIADMK – one led by Chief Minister Edappadi Palaniswami and his Deputy O Panneerselvam and the other led by ousted leader VK Sasikala.

After EC’s announcement, Chief Minister E Palaniswami expressed his happiness, thanking the party workers for their support. EPS also denied allegations that they were awarded the symbol wing to their proximity to BJP.

We had facts on our side and majority of MLAs, MPs and party workers were with us. All this was taken into consideration.
