Palaniswami rejects speculation of Dhinakaran, Sasikala being readmitted into AIADMK

12/11/2026, 6:28:52 pm

AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami on Thursday termed as “unnecessary” a question about the possibility of readmitting AMMK founder T.T.V. Dhinakaran and former V.K. Sasikala into the AIADMK.

“Please understand that they [Mr. Dhinakaran and Ms. Sasikala] have started their own parties. Please ask better questions,” Mr. Palaniswami said during an interaction with journalists at the Chennai airport.

To another query, Mr. Palaniswami said that the AIADMK was prepared to face any bypoll in the State and that the party candidate would win. Replying to another query, Mr. Palaniswami reiterated his charge that the TVK-led government was inefficient and that the law and order situation was deteriorating.
