EPS has had its way on most things, alliance-wise.A week earlier, he reiterated that he would not re-admit OPS and Sasikala Natarajan back in the party.It was a message not just to detractors in the AIADMK. It was even more so for the BJP leadership in Delhi.Even more important for the AIADMK was their demand for accepting EPS as the chief ministerial candidate of any alliance that the party would form, observes N Sathiya Moorthy.
