A day after he dared the party leadership to remove him, dissident leader K A Sengottaiyan (Photo), who raised the banner of revolt for demanding the homecoming of expelled leaders V K Sasikala, T T V Dhinakaran, and O Panneerselvam, was axed from the AIADMK on Friday.
Announcing the expulsion of Sengottaiyan, a former Minister, from the primary membership of the party, AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami (EPS), in a statement said the legislator from Gobichettipalayam in Erode district, was "engaging in activities contrary to the party's principles and discipline.
EPS also charged him with hobnobbing with those expelled from the party - Sasikala, TVV and OPS.
"Despite being fully aware that party members should have no truck with those who were expelled. But, Sengottaiyan had repeatedly violated the directives of the party leadership, acting in a manner detrimental to the unity and integrity of the party," read the statement.
