‘AIADMK rattled by AMMK’s move to face Bypoll 20’

“AMMK will not allow the Edappadi K Palaniswami government to continue and the AIADMK candidates will forfeit their deposits in the upcoming bypolls,” he said. Further, there is no legal bar preventing the 18 MLAs to contest elections and the same had been clarified by the Election Commission officials during the recent press briefings, he added.

What is wrong in me staying at the hotels where political leaders are staying? Why Dhinakaran is being asked so many questions, the AMMK leader retorted when asked why he stayed in the same hotel where the DMK leader MK Stalin stayed during Thevar Jayanthi. “There are CCTV cameras in these hotels you can check whether I meet other political leaders are not. I have stayed in hotels where the BJP leaders stayed and do that mean I am inching closer to the BJP,” Dhinakaran asked.

Meanwhile, Fisheries Minister D Jayakumar said that the AMMK and DMK are having a secret pact to dislodge the Palaniswami government. The token tactics used by Dhinakaran in RK Nagar will not work in the by-polls, Jayakumar added.
