Paneerselvam listed all the achievements of him in this two months like Jallikatti Ordinance, Bringing water from Chandrababu Naidu, Handling Vardah Cyclone etc and on the other side, also revealed how Sasikala and some of her supporters tried to insult him and call shots in the party and the government. Finally, he said to the media how MLAs meeting was called without his knowledge and how he was forced to resign as the CM.

Entire media in the country was telecasting Live this news, Jaya TV blacked it out completely and Poes Garden watched it silently as Paneerselvam claimed himself as the only person who has the support of AIADMK cadre and the people of the state. He even went on to say how he was not allowed even to Amma’s Memorial before signing the resignation letter.
