Will have to consult Sasikala on resigning as she appointed me as Deputy General Secretary, says Dinakaran.
A day after the ouster of VK Sasikala and her nephew Dinakaran from the AIADMK, O Pannerrselvam said that it was a first victory of their faction.
Addressing the media, Pannerrselvam said, "This is our faction's first victory that Sasikala and her family have been ousted from the party. Both factions will talk to fulfil the aspirations of lakhs of party workers."
AIADMK leader and state Finance Minister D Jayakumaron on Tuesday night announced that Sasikala and Dinakaran would be 'delinked' from the party.
Meanwhile, Dinakaran has said that he has no problem with the possible merger of AIADMK factions if it benefits the party.
He also added that the revolt against him could have been due to some fears. "I have stepped aside in the interest of the party, so the question of resigning doesn't arise." However, he added that he would have to consult with Sasikala on resigning as she had appointed him as the Deputy General Secretary of the party.
Dinakaran has called for a meeting of MLAs and District Secretaries at the party's headquarter in Royapettah in Chennai this afternoon at 3 pm.
Meanwhile, with the political fiasco in Tamil Nadu getting murkier by the day, the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) hit out at the ruling AIADMK saying that its leaders are making a mockery of every authority that exists.
However, AIADMK leader M. Thambidurai has called for unity in the party, saying that if all leaders would come together, then it would strengthen the party.
"It's not a sudden development, it's going on for a long time. We have to come together and have to be united. We need to unite this party so that Amma's ideology may move forward," he said.
