AIADMK’s Deputy General Secretary T T V Dinakaran today said that he distanced from yesterday's events. He also said due to fear the state ministers have decided to keep him out from the party.
Speaking to reporters here Dinakaran said: “Due to some unknown fear the ministers have taken the decision. I don't want to fight with my brothers.”
Dinakaran added that he does not know what the ministers are fearing and the U-turn in their stand has happened in a matter of three days.
Dinakaran said AIADMK General Secretary V K Sasikala appointed him as the Deputy General Secretary and he would resign his post only after discussing with her.
AIADMK leader and state Finance Minister D. Jayakumar yesterday announced that V.K. Sasikala and her nephew Dinakaran had decided to be 'delinked' from the party.
Earlier, Jayakumar announced that a new committee was formed to administer the affairs of the AIADMK.
Demanding the ouster of Sasikala and her nephew from the AIADMK, former Tamil Nadu chief minister O. Panneerselvam said the party should not be controlled by one family, adding it was nothing short of treason to allow the former to control the party's affairs.
He said that he had sent a petition to the Election Commission to declare Sasikala's appointment as AIADMK general secretary 'illegal'.
