In yet another indication that all is not well in the ruling AIADMK, a party MLA Sunday backed its Madurai-based veteran V V Rajan Chellappa's pitch for a single leader to steer the outfit and asserted that anyone trying to divide the outfit for "family" would be viewed as another "Sasikala."
Panneerselvam's son P Raveendranath Kumar was given party ticket to contest from Theni Lok Sabha seat, all the while Chief Minister K Palaniswami was going hammer and tongs against the DMK for "perpetuating family rule."
The AIADMK spokesperson told PTI, "Party workers can air their grievances only in the general council, which is the decision-making body. By making such views public, one should not provide fodder to the Opposition."
