O. Panneerselvam even left the leadership of the party after a bottle was thrown and disrespected in the AIADMK general meeting. After this, it became clear that there is a power struggle between two factions in AIADMK namely OPS side and EPS side. But this is not new in AIADMK history. Stuck in the middle of a dual leadership, history has it that jayalalithaa emerged as a single leadership only after a more complex deluge.

It is said that history repeats itself the second time around. Now, due to the issue of single leadership in AIADMK, it is seen that the history of 1988 is returning. So what happened in AIADMK in 1988? How did the problem end?

On december 24, 1987, AIADMK's founding president MG Ramachandran died. When a leader dies, it is natural to ask who will be the next leader.

Jayalalitha, who was MGR's co-star and then growing rapidly in the AIADMK, was on the one hand in a position to call herself a political heir.

What happened when the AIADMK was reeling between that dual leadership is seen as more extreme than what is happening now.
