A day after EPS asked the party cadre to remain grateful to the BJP, warning that anything else would amount to “rank ingratitude,” Dhinakaran, nephew of Sasikala and leader of the Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (AMMK), told reporters in Thanjavur that all 122 AIADMK MLAs had voted for the government only on Sasikala’s advice, with no role played by the BJP.
Sasikala participated in a Christmas event in Kilpauk church in Chennai.
Sasikala called upon the government to look into the woes of the fisherfolk of Nagapattinam, Mahabalipuram, Pudukottai areas.
Arumughaswamy Commission of Inquiry concluded that Sasikala, Jayalalithaa's personal Doctor K S Sivakumar, then Health Secretary Radhakrishnan, C.Vijayabaskar who was health Minister then are found to be at fault and an investigation is to be ordered.
The Tamil Nadu government has decided to take action against eight persons in connection with the death of former chief minister of Tamil Nadu, J Jayalalithaa, accepting the recommendations of the Arumughaswamy Commission which probed the treatment given to her.
The AIADMK, wants to bring in a high-level performance in the upcoming urban local body elections scheduled in a couple of months' time.
Political pundits were of the opinion that Sasikala was planning to create a wedge between Palaniswami and Panneerselvam
Sasikala, who was a close aide of late chief minister J. Jayalalithaa, is using her contacts across the state and is carefully choosing the cadres she should address
"I visited the party headquarters today as it is an auspicious day. We had an informal discussion. That’s all.” EPS cleared the air.
Soon after Jayalaithaa's death, Sasikala took over the reins of the AIADMK in December 2016, but was later expelled from the party by the Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami-led camp.
