Mr. Jayakumar said Mr. Palaniswami took stock of the maintenance work at the party office, besides having discussion with district secretaries.

Panneerselvam adverted to the incidents that took place in the last few days, targeting offices of the Bharatiya Janata Party and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and said those were due to “indifference” of the DMK government.
