The electoral debacle has several other factors but the reunion of these leaders will give the party the much-needed support base and fillip."The passing of the resolution to induct back Sasikala in the presence of party chief coordinator has raised eyebrows in the political circles of Tamil Nadu.Dr R.

The AIADMK urgently needs a powerful leader and not a dual leadership and this will infuse adrenalin into the veins of cadres giving the party the much-needed fillip. The pressure exerted by the Thevar community is a major reason for this resolution and it is only a matter of time for her to be back into the day-to-day affairs of AIADMK."Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
