More leaders abandoning Sasikala's ship.

AIADMK Organising Secretary V Karuppasamy says he is resigning from the party; calls TTV Dinakaran's appointment as unacceptable.

This morning, just before she left for Bengaluru, Sasikala in direct contravention of Jayalalithaa's orders, re-inducted two nephews - TTV Dinakaran and S Venkatesh - into the party.

Jayalalithaa had expelled Dinakaran in 2011 for conspiring against her. Sasikala appointed him Deputy General Secretary of the AIADMK and asked her MLAs to cooperate with him. Sasikala remains the General Secretary of the party, the party's most powerful position, a post that Jayalalithaa retained.
