Chennai: OPS Shifted to Second Row in House

 Chennai: The long raging dispute between the AIADMK and Speaker M Appavu over the allotment of seat to the deputy leader of the opposition, R B Udhayakumar, next to the leader of the opposition Edappadi K Palaniswami in the same sofa finally came to an end with the Speaker acceding to their demand.

Former Chief Minister O Panneerselvam, who earlier shared the sofa with Palaniswami, was allotted a seat in the second row along with former Speaker Dhanapal on Tuesday.

Former Minister V Senthil Balaji’s seat, which was with the State Ministers, too, was changed as he ceased to be a Minister. Now he will sit along with the ruling party MLAs.
