Hours after the AIADMK (Amma) adopted a resolution against him, TTV Dhinakaran hit out at the ruling party, led by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edappadi Palaniswami. Calling the resolution terming his appointment as Deputy General Secretary, “against party rules,” TTV Dhinakaran said, “Only Sasikala has the authority to stop me from functioning. I am not bound by the decision of those who mushroomed overnight.”
Speaking to the media in Thanjavur, Dhinakaran pointed out that EPS and other ministers had passed the resolution on Thursday as they were afraid of his decision to go on a statewide tour to strengthen the party.
Issuing a veiled threat, TTV noted that using the AIADMK letterhead to pass a resolution against him goes against the Election Commission directive. “How can they use the AIADMK letterhead when there is a restraining order from the Election Commission? If the EC sees the misuse of the AIADMK letterhead by Edappadi Palaniswami, they will lose their ministerial posts,” TTV warned.
