Senior ministers, including D Jayakumar and KA Sengottaiyan, who chairs the AIADMK presidium and had hitherto sided with Dinakaran, had questioned the beleaguered leader's locus standi to convene a meeting of legislators and the party's district secretaries.
"I myself would have announced it (of keeping away from the party) if they had told me about their decision," he said, referring to a midnight meeting convened on Tuesday.
He, however, claimed the rebellion against him was out of "fear".
"They (ministers) might have done this (revolt) due to some fear. Maybe there was some dissatisfaction against me. But I don't know," he told reporters.
Panneerselvam, a staunch loyalist of the late chief minister J Jayalalithaa, has described the revolt against the Sasikala family as the "first success" of his "dharma yuddh" (holy war).
