Amid the chaos and confusion various members of the party have chosen sides, with some in favour of Sasikala taking over as the CM of Tamil Nadu and others opting for Panneerselvam. 

Sasikala on February 13 lashed out at Panneerselvam and accused him of trying to create a rift in the party. "When I was in pain for the party's future, I stood firm on my stand. All of you must know what is the truth," she said at Poes Garden.
