The conflict had been going on for several months, leading to a scuffle in the party's central office. When the party takes all the decisions, it faces strong opposition from another top leader, Paneer Selvam. A conflict begins between their supporters, who complain that Paneer Selvam is destroying the party's money and property. Palanaswamy will not let it happen to them in any way.
Palanswamy has unethically removed Ponirselvam from the post of the party by ignoring the party's constitution.
The Madras High Court has appointed both of them as the chief coordinators of the party before it has to be resolved within three months. The court ruled that the post of general secretary of the party should be fixed by elections at all levels of the party within three months..
