Rebel leaders of AIADMK do not take part in district secretaries’ meeting chaired by Palaniswami
The party’s performance in the recent bypoll in Dharapuram and Madurantakam Assembly constituencies, and preparations for its general council and executive committee meetings, expected to be conducted in December this year, were among the issues discussed at the meeting
Rebel leaders of the AIADMK, S.P. Velumani and Natham R. Viswanathan, chose not to attend the district secretaries' meeting chaired by party general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami at the party headquarters in Chennai on Sunday. This decision came after the party's disappointing performance in recent bypolls in Dharapuram and Madurantakam Assembly constituencies. The meeting also focused on preparations for upcoming general council and executive committee meetings, which are scheduled for December of the same year.
Among those present at the meeting were senior leaders A. Tamilmagan Hussain, K.P. Munusamy, and Dindigul C. Sreenivasan. Earlier, Palaniswami had issued a statement criticizing the TVK-led government regarding the high prices of medicines sold in Amma Marundhagams, allegedly higher than the fixed rates, as reported by the All India Drug Action Network.
The statement affected the impoverished population. Additionally, S. Velladurai, a retired Additional Superintendent of Police with a controversial reputation, joined the AIADMK in the presence of Palaniswami on Sunday.
