EPS loyalists met with Speaker Prabhakar demanding the disqualification of the 25 rebel legislators under the anti-defection law.
The CV Shanmugam-led rebel group is said to be busy getting letters from members of the party general council urging general secretary EPS to convene the GC meeting soon.
Even as EPS supporters have approached the Assembly Speaker seeking action against the 25 rebel MLAs, the rival camp argues that elected MLAs — not the party leadership — should determine the party's future course.
The rebel faction is learnt to have gathered signatures from over one-fifth of the General Council, which would make it mandatory under party by-laws for EPS to convene a special GC meeting within 30 days.
