Sasikala banners removed

Chennai April 27: As we knew that AIADMK's Amma faction deputy general secretary TTV Dinakaran has been arrested on charges of fixing a deal to bribe Election Commission officials.

From this perspective, the banners of his aunt and jailed party general secretary VK Sasikala in the party headquarters were removed on Wednesday morning setting the stage for the commencement of the reunion talks between two warring factions.

The removal of the banners indicates Sasikala and her clan loosening the grip over the ruling AIADMK, if not losing complete control of the party.



Dinakaran, who was expelled from AIADMK by late Jayalalithaa along with Sasikala and other family members in 2011, was re-inducted into the party with a plum post of party deputy general secretary by his aunt, hours before leaving for Bengaluru to serve the remainder of her sentence in the disproportionate assets case.
