Tamil Nadu: AIADMK tries damage control

Chennai: With ‘Re-Induct Sasikala to the slogan AIADMK harder, the coordinator of AIADMK O Panneerselvam and the coordinator with Edappadi K Palaniswami tried some quick damage control to control their supporters.
The next few days from Thevar Jayanthi (Muthuramalinga Thevar’s death and death), leaders on both parties have been asked to reduce their pro and anti-sasicala rhetoric.
However, the minority wing secretary Aiadmk Anwhar Raajhaa stated that party workers wanted to see Sasikala as the Secretary General to make the party stronger against the DMK Arch-rivals.
Meanwhile, in a slight change in travel plans, OP will visit Pasumpon on November 1.
The part in Aiadmk said the palaniswami schedule is uncertain because of health problems.
Sasikala will pay homage to the leader of the Thevar on Friday morning.
There was an early drama on the day when Aiadmk expelled Deputy Secretary of the Minority wing J M Basheer from the party’s primary membership hours after he submitted a request that the OP had to fire ‘anti-Muslim’.
Basheer alleged that EPS disappointed a minority community by supporting CAA / NRC in parliament and failed to pass the resolution of assembly that opposed debatable laws.
“He (EPS) missed the quad-e-milath warning visit on his birth and death warnings,” Basheer told Toi.
“The party has contrary to the principles of Mgr and Amma (J JAYALALITHAA), and forms the Casteist Party,” he said.
He said there was nothing wrong in the OPS statement about Sasikala’s linduction and accused EPS to let his supporters talk against leaders.
Raajhaa said cadres wanted Sasikala to return as Secretary General of AIDMK since he offered the position of minister’s head to Ops and EPS.
“Let the leaders invite him,” Raajhaa told Toi.
The former parliamentary member said the party under the double leadership lost assembly selection and installed a poor show in the local body selection in nine districts.
Raajhaa said cadres had lost trust in multiple leadership and began talking about the level of saccastia for the progress of the party.
“Cadres said the united party was the need for hours,” said the leader, accused EPS and several leaders used the party to promote their own interests.
