New Delhi/Chennai:

Former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edappadi Palaniswami or EPS will remain interim general secretary of the state’s opposition AIADMK party, the Supreme Court ruled on Thursday, in a major blow for his rival O Panneerselvam or OPS.

The top court upheld an order of the Madras High Court after considering a batch of cases concerning changes to the party bylaws during a controversial general council meeting in July. The top court dismissed the petitions filed by Mr Panneerselvam.
