Ahead of the 23 April polls, Ramadoss has sided with V.K. Sasikala. The alliance is seen as a ploy to enmesh Vanniyars and Thevars together, the communities both leaders represent.
Nearly a decade after Jayalalithaa’s death, her aide Sasikala’s AIPTMMK enters the fray, with analysts predicting it could fragment AIADMK’s traditional support.
Sasikala, the one-time close aide of Jayalalithaa, was expelled from AIADMK in 2017. Its senior leaders have threatened legal action over Sasikala naming herself as ‘general secretary’ of party.
The audio clips come at a time when the AIADMK, voted out of office in this year’s assembly election, is courting reports of infighting between former chief ministers EPS & OPS.
T.T.V. Dhinakaran claims his party is the true heir to Jayalalithaa’s legacy, and the late CM’s close aide Sasikala is advising him despite ‘stepping aside’ from politics.
