Former Minister in the M.G. Ramachandran cabinet, Panruti Ramachandran, on Sunday said it was not important who the AIADMK [interim] general secretary was, and what mattered was who won the confidence of people. He made the remarks after V.K. Sasikala, former aide of late Chief Minister Jayalalithaa, called on him at his residence in Ashok Nagar, Chennai.
Mr. Ramachandran has been maintaining a low profile for some time now. “It is not important who the general secretary is. What matters is, who are the people placing their confidence in,” he said. Asked about the controversy over unitary and dual leadership in the AIADMK, he rejected them and asked: “What have they achieved from the unitary leadership anyway?”
