CHENNAI: Chief Minister and TVK president C Joseph Vijay on Saturday assigned organisational posts to several leaders who recently joined the party, but former AIADMK ministers C Vijayabaskar and MR Vijayabhaskar were given relatively low-profile responsibilities.
C Vijayabaskar, a former health minister, was appointed Pudukkottai district organisational secretary, while former minister MR Vijayabhaskar was made Karur district organisational secretary and deputy district general secretary. Another former minister, Esakki Subbaiah, was appointed Tenkasi district organisational secretary.
The party also appointed 10 others as state deputy general secretaries, including K Maragatham Kumaravel, S Rajagopal, H Zahir Hussain, V Kumar, S Yuvaraj, CV Dhinakaran, K Manikandan, RS Manikandan, K Arulraj and SDR Samuel Raj.
Vijay urged the newly appointed functionaries to work with dedication and strengthen the party at the grassroots level.
