Will surely return to AIADMK: Sasikala

June 21, 2021 22:47

Ousted All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam leader V K Sasikala has dropped another hint of returning to active politics and has also talked about return to the party, saying the 'cadres are unhappy' and 'worry for party present position'.

In an audio clip of her purported conversation with a party worker doing round on social media, Sasikala said she had distanced herself from the party because the present leadership had claimed it would win Tamil Nadu assembly polls.

"I am fine and surely I will come to the party. The AIADMK cadre is unhappy and worried about the party's present position. What.... may come, my entry is definite. They said they will win, and that's why I had set apart myself. But they didn't win," she said.

She also reacted to the expulsion of 16 party functionaries who interacted with her.

"My heart is pained to see the removal of cadres who were brought in the party by AIADMK chief MGR (M G Ramachandran) and Jayalalithaa. The cadres are the party, and I will be with you all. Don't worry."

The AIADMK Legislature Party had passed a resolution on June 14 calling for actions against those who spoke to Sasikala.

Sasikala has been staying in Chennai's T Nagar area after returning to the city in February following the completion of her four-year prison sentence in a disproportionate assets case. -- ANI
