In a shocking turn of political developments, AIADMK general secretary VK Sasikala, who is convicted in DA case and serving her sentence in Bengaluru jail, has been suspended from the party. Along with Sasikala her nephew and AIADMK’s deputy general secretary TTV Dinakaran was also suspended from the party.
The decision came out after defiant O Panneerselvam, former CM of the state and Amma loyalist, put three conditions to merge his camp with the incumbent government. While one of the conditions and major condition was to keep Sasikala and her family (TTV Dinakaran) away from the party, the other condition is to order probe into Jaya’s death.
“Decision is unanimous and based on views of all ministers, including the CM, MLAs, MPs and public,” said Tamil Nadu’s Finance Minister D Jayakumar. Since both general secretary and deputy general secretary of the party have been booted out, an ad hoc committee will be set up to run the party for the time being.
After Jaya’s demise on Dec 5, 2016, Sasi took over the reigns of the party and anointed herself as the general secretary. After she was convicted by the Supreme Court in Disproportionate Assets case, Sasi has appointed TTV Dinakaran as the party’s deputy general secretary in her absence. This invited a lot of criticism as Jaya had expelled TTV Dinakaran from the party when she was alive. Making a person who is not even a party’s member as the deputy general secretary invited flak from OPS camp, Amma’s staunch loyalists.
TTV Dinakaran is cornered. He is allegedly tried to bribe the Election Commission officials to “buy” AIADMK symbol. Delhi police have filed bribery case against him. Cops allege that Dinakaran was “willing” to pay whopping Rs 50 Crore to get the party’s two-leaf symbol.
