AIADMK interim general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami on Wednesday claimed that 10 legislators of the ruling DMK were in touch with his party.
Responding to an observation by a journalist that three legislators of the AIADMK were said to be joining the DMK shortly, Mr. Palaniswami, who was speaking to mediapersons in Gummidipoondi, shot back: “Who is talking [to the DMK]? In fact, 10 DMK MLAs are talking to us.”
When asked whether he would agree to take back former AIADMK interim general secretary V.K. Sasikala and AMMK general secretary T.T.V. Dhinakaran into his party, the AIADMK leader said the workers were running the party. “There is no place for others,” he added. He said the party cadre had not accepted them [Ms. Sasikala and Mr. Dhinakaran].
