In the amended rules, the party has said, among others, that the late Jayalalithaa shall be the "eternal" General Secretary and that the post has been "abolished."
"As per wishes of the members of the party and the party cadre, Puratchi Thalaivi (Revolutionary leader) Dr J Jayalalithaa shall be the eternal General Secretary of the party and no person shall be elected appointed/nominated to that post."
Among others, the top two leaders were 'empowered' to take decisions on important political events, policies and programmes of urgent nature, which cannot "brook delay and await the meeting of either Executive Committee or General Council."
