‘Get CM’s reply on probe into jaya death, win Rs 10K’

He stated this while participating at the birth centenary celebrations of MG Ramachandran here. The former chief minister reiterated that his party’s ‘dharma yudham’ would continue till the ‘mysterious knots’ in the death of Jayalalithaa were removed. 

Panneerselvam-led AIADMK faction had on March 8 staged a one-day fast here and in the district capitals, demanding an independent probe into the demise of Jayalalithaa. 

Hitting out at AIADMK (Amma) leader VK Sasikala, he said she was unlike Jayalalithaa or her mentor MG Ramachandan, who  did not bring their family members into politics. 

Sasikala wanted to bring 16 of her family members, who  were earlier “removed” from AIADMK by Jayalalithaa for trying to dominate the party. Even Sasikala was removed from the party by Jayalalithaa, but she was readmitted after she apologised, Panneerselvam recalled.
