Axed for raising a rebellion against AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami (EPS) by holding out an ultimatum to readmit previously expelled leaders -- late Jayalalithaa’s confidante Vk Sasikala, her nephew TTV Dhinakaran, heading the Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (AMMK), and OPS —Sengottaiyan, currently MLA of Gobichettipalayam, has been looking for greener pastures.
