For the combine of Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami and his deputy O. Panneerselvam, however, this is only the first step. Among them are the constitution of a “steering committee”, wooing back pro-Dhinakaran MLAs and MPs, and reshuffle of office-bearers. Dhinakaran, dissident AIADMK leader. Senior leaders of the party are also conscious of wooing back two MLAs, E. Rathinasabapathy and V.T. AIADMK leaders say changes in office-bearers may also take place in the coming weeks as there are five secretaries of the district units who are in the dissident group.
