EPS, OPS condole Madhusudhanan’s death

Former minister and AIADMK presidium chairman E Madhusudhanan died at a private hospital in Chennai on Thursday. He was 81. He was admitted to the hospital with multi-organ dysfunction in July and was treated in the critical care unit by a medical team. Madhusudhanan’s wife C Jeeva passed away in April due to Covid-19. The couple didn’t have any children.

AIADMK coordinator O Panneerselvam and joint Edappadi K Palaniswami condoled the death and the party has announced three-day mourning.

An ardent loyalist of MGR and J Jayalalithaa, Madhusudhanan had been the presidium chairman of the party since 2007. He was one of the four officebearers who won the two-leaves symbol case in the EC in November 2017 which helped the unified party successfully complete its consecutive term in office. MGR nominated Madhusudhanan to the Madras Legislative Council in 1984. Elected for the first time as an MLA from Dr Radhakrishnan Nagar, Madhusudhanan was inducted into J Jayalalithaa’s first cabinet in 1991 as minister of handlooms and textiles.
