AIADMK's Thambidurai meets TN govenor after Dinakaran's exit

April 20, 2017 11:57

AIADMK (Amma) leader M Thambidurai meets Tamil Nadu Governor C Vidyasagar Rao after deputy general secretary TTV Dinakaran steps aside from the party.

Isolated in his party, AIADMK deputy general secretary TTV Dinakaran threw in the towel and "stepped aside" to pave the way for a merger of rival factions led by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister E K Palaniswami and his predecessor O Panneerselvam. Dinakaran, the nephew of jailed AIADMK general secretary V K Sasikala, is facing a revolt by an influential section of the party led by Palaniswami and a host of ministers, who had last night declared the ouster of the once powerful aunt-nephew duo, and extended a hand of friendship to the Panneerselvam camp.
