"Amma had said party's presidium chairman E Madhusoodhanan should be made general secretary and I should be chief minister. I refused to agree to this, but later agreed," he said.

"When the jallikattu protests were raging, I as chief minister approached PM Modi regarding the ordinance and amendment. On the other hand, deputy speaker Thambidurai came there with 50 MPs and sought an appointment to meet the PM. When I returned, I expressed my displeasure over this. But I received no redressal," he added.

He said, "I have performed my duty without any shortcomings and carried forward path shown by Ammaa. Sasikala's team is pressurising me."
