Chennai: Hours after he was expelled from the AIADMK, pro-Panneerselvam leader E Madhusudhanan claimed he, in fact, had sacked party interim general secretary V K Sasikala and continued to be the party's presidium chairman.

"Before that (his sacking), I expelled her (Sasikala) from the party," he told reporters last night when asked about his removal from all party posts, including presidium chairman and primary membership, by Sasikala.

Flanked by a smiling Panneerselvam and other leaders, Madhusudhanan announced that an election will soon be held for the post of party general secretary, adding the chief will be elected by the party cadres.

"Very soon, election for the post of AIADMK general secretary will be held; the date will be announced soon," he said.

He said a 'property protection committee' to protect the assets of former chief minister late J Jayalalithaa will be "announced soon at the general council".

In an indication that the political situation was becoming more complicated, more AIADMK leaders from several regions, including former Union minister E Ponnusamy, joined ranks with Panneerselvam.
