Amid the ongoing leadership tussle between AIADMK party co-coordinator Edappadi K Palaniswami and party coordinator O Panneerselvam, the former General Secretary of the party and former CM Jayalalitha’s confidante VK Sasikala announced that she will be going on a “revolutionary tour” around Chennai from June 26 to “defend the rights of Tamil soil and dignity of women”. This announcement comes a day after the party witnessed much drama in its General Council meeting held on June 23.
The theme for Sasikala’s road show in Chennai is "to protect the rights of Tamil soil and the dignity of women”. During the course of the road show, Sasikala is set to meet general public at various points and interact with them in the state capital. The tour will begin from her T Nagar residence on June 26 at 12.30 pm and she will travel to T Nagar, Koyambedu, Poonamallee, Thiruthani, Koramangala, KG Sandigaim SVG Puram, Krishnakuppam and RK Pettaia before returning to her residence. “The trip is to propagate the deeds of party supremos MG Ramachandran and J Jayalalithaa,” a press statement from the AIADMK general secretary’s camp office read.
Sasikala and her nephew TTV Dhinakaran were sacked from the party and both EPS, as well as OPS, have reiterated time and again that there is no scope for Sasikala to re-enter the party.
