Sasikala sacks AIADMK leader who said she lacks qualifications to be CM

February 10, 2017 14:26

AIADMK announces that party presidium chairman E Madhusudhanan has been removed from all party posts, and expelled from the party. KA Sengottayyan replaces him.

Madhusudhanan had extended his support to O Panneerselvam at the latter's residence and told waiting mediapersons after the meeting that his conscience was urging him to join Panneerselvam's camp and he has surrendered to that voice.

He said says Sasikala lacks the qualification to be the general secretary of the AIADMK and has written to the Election Commission that her appointment as interim general secretary is invalid as she was not a member of the AIADMK for five continuous years, as required by the party constitution.
