Sasikala & Dinakaran Suspended From Party

Chennai April 22: AIADMK general secretary VK.Sasikala, she was Bengaluru jail right now, 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 was came out after defiant O Panneerselvam, former Chief Minister of the state and Amma loyalist, put three conditions to merge his camp with the incumbent government. While they have kept two conditions to merge in the party. First one was Sasikala and her family (TTV Dinakaran) away from the party, the other condition is to order the 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 are removed from the party.



After former CM Jaya's demise on Dec 5, 2016, Sasikala took over the reigns from the party and anointed herself as the general secretary. After she was convicted by the SC in Disproportionate Assets case, Sasikala 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.
