Both parties of Dhinakaran, Divakaran will vanish, says TN CM

Taking a dig at the extended family of jailed leader V K Sasikala, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister K Palaniswami today said both the parties floated by her kin would 'disappear' from the political scene soon.

Hardly within two months of Sasikala's nephew T T V Dhinakaran forming a party (Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam), it had already witnessed "a split", he told reporters here.

Both the parties would 'disappear' soon, he added.

He was reacting to a question on the outfit floated today by V Divakaran, brother of Sasikala.

Dhivakaran, who has launched an all-out attack against Dhinakaran over the party affairs, named his outfit 'Amma Ani', roughly translates into Amma faction, named after late chief minister Jayalalithaa.

On BJP leader S Ve Shekher not being arrested in a case filed against him for sharing a post that contained derogatory references to media and women scribes, the Chief Minister said the "guilty will not be spared."
