Resolution to remove TTV invalid, says MLA Vetrivel
CHENNAI: Calling the resolution passed to remove TTV Dinakaran from the party post as invalid, AIADMK legislator and party functionary P Vetrivel asserted that the appointment of Dinakaran and party general secretary VK Sasiskala as supremo, were made according to the party’s bye-laws.
“It empowers the general secretary to alter or relax any norms as she deems fit. It doesn’t empower anyone like the group of ministers and party functionaries to necessitate any action against her, or those appointed by her. So, the resolution passed to remove TTV becomes invalid,” Vetrivel reasoned.
On the question of Sasikala’s elevation, a visibly irate Vetrivel shot back that there was precedence. “Even late chief minister J Jayalalithaa was first appointed by the party and later elected. We have ample time to conduct the election to general secretary post. We will hold it at our convenience,” he said.
He rubbished an RTI reply from the Election Commission questioning the validity of Sasikala’s elevation and said, “The same EC has sent an invitation to Sasiskala addressing her as the general secretary in January 2017.” He fired against the government on all cylinders and levelled various corruption charges.
The Perambur MLA also asked the Centre not to believe the ruling dispensation as the latter keep shifting allegiance fast.
