AIADMK merger: No internal differences, positive result soon, says OPS

Last night, the merger had failed to come off following divergent views of OPS faction members

Talks on the merger of the two AIADMK factions are going on smoothly and a positive result is expected in a day or two, former chief minister O Panneerselvam said on Saturday.

He was speaking after leaders of the AIADMK (Puratchi Thalaivi Amma) faction led by him met here for informal discussions on the merger issue following last night's inconclusive patch-up bid, and to chart out their future course of action.

Panneerselvam, who is scheduled to leave for Madurai tomorrow to attend a meeting there, was expected to elicit the opinion of the faction leaders here to arrive at any firm view
