No more Sasikala family members in AIADMK: TTV Dinakaran

AIADMK deputy general secretary T T V Dinakaran has ruled out the possibility of reinducting any more of his family members, including V K Sasikala's husband M Natarajan and brother V Divakaran into the party.

In an interview to a Tamil channel, Dinakaran said that among the expelled members, only he and S Venkatesh had been reinducted.

"I don't think the possibility of reinducting others now or in the future," Dinakaran said.

Meanwhile, the AIADMK rebel faction on Sunday lashed out at Dinakaran, for speaking ‘blatant lies’ for his political survival.

Talking to reporters on Sunday, K P Munusamy, former minister and a prominent rebel said: “TTV Dinakaran has stated in an interview that he met our leader Jayalalithaa on September 25 at the hospital. This is false. He had not even stepped into the hospital before Amma passed away".

Denying Dinakaran’s statement that Jayalalithaa had promised Sasikala to offer a party post to him, he recalled that Jayalalithaa ordered him to stay away from Parliament in 2007 while he was a Rajya Sabha member and later expelled him.
