Referring to the election for the post of general secretary of the AIADMK, he said, “Even an ordinary cadre could contest for the top post. This was the situation that prevailed during the period of Puratchi Thalaivar [MGR] and Amma [Jayalalithaa]. But the party bylaws have been changed now by which 10 district secretaries each had to propose and second the name of the candidates contesting for the post. I am against this amendment.”
While responding to a question on the prospects of AIADMK, he said, “The party will win if everyone comes together.”
