Munusamy: Sasikala can never be readmitted into AIADMK

Speaking to reporters in Krishnagiri, Munusamy said that there is no point in starting a discussion on the subject of her entry into the party after ending it with a full stop. 

“She was removed from the party and a resolution was passed by the party functionaries in each district in this regard. Even those who functioned in support of her were expelled from the party. So, there is no question of admitting her into the party,” he said. 

Further, Munusamy said that AIADMK will never function on the lines of caste and community. 

Internal issue of AIADMK: Annamalai 

Meanwhile, BJP state president K Annamalai said that anyone can come into politics and it is an issue of AIADMK. 

“I could not comment on Sasikala coming into politics. Anyone can come and leave politics. Both Edappadi K Palaniswami and O Panneerselvam are expressing their opinion on the issue,” he told reporters after flagging off a lorry with relief items from Coimbatore to flood ravaged Kerala. 

Further, Annamalai said that the BJP is functioning as a constructive opposition party in Tamil Nadu. “There has been no rivalry between BJP and AIADMK as to who should play the role of an Opposition party. We maintain cordial relationships with our alliance parties and stay united in our criticism against the DMK. The AIADMK raises issues from Tamil Nadu and BJP at the national level,” he said. 

He also slammed Electricity Minister Senthilbalaji for not coming out with an explanation for the corruption charges pointed out by him. 

Meanwhile, supporters of Sasikala had welcomed the comments of OPS. “This a good move by the AIADMK coordinator and the supporters of Jayalaithaa and MGR has been demanding the inclusion of Sasikala back into the party,” said ousted AIADMK functionary V Pughazendhi.
