Party General Secretary K Anbazhagan announced the suspension of V Karuppasamy Pandian, a powerful leader in the party's Tirunelveli West district set-up, and Tiruchendur MLA Anitha R Radhakrishnan.
The two had "violated party discipline and brought disrepute" to it, Anbazhagan said in a statement, adding, they were being suspended from all party posts, including primary membership.
