Sasikala factor, still a wedge in AIADMK unity

The rank and file in the Opposition AIADMK are now reaching out to the sulking AIADMK leaders who experienced unpleasant discussions at the party district secretaries meeting on Wednesday. According to informed AIADMK sources, there were heated arguments between R Vaithilingam, CVe Shanmugham and Anwar Rajaa, while discussing party internal matters.

However, the AIADMK leaders pacified the sulking seniors and resolved the meeting, sources said. A few MLAs have also opined that the party seniors should burry the political difference as the civic polls are nearing.

The political dissent and infights have become common in AIADMK, thanks to ousted leader VK Sasikala who continues to be a controversial person for the party, sources said.

According to sources close to Sasikala, the former AIADMK general secretary is also planning to hold the party general council to counter the executive committee meeting called by AIADMK leaders Edappadi K Palaniswami and O Panneerselvam on December 1.
