‘We believe in retrieving party through democratic means’
Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (AMMK) general secretary T.T.V. Dhinakaran on Saturday said that his and his aunt V.K. Sasikala’s aim were the same — to retrieve the AIADMK. However, he said he believed in retrieving the AIADMK through democratic means by winning elections.
Replying to a query during a press conference in Chennai as to whether he has the support of Ms. Sasikala, Mr. Dhinakaran said: “You are aware if I have Chinnamma’s [Sasikala’s] support. She is my aunt [Chithi] first and then comes politics. Our aim has been the same.”
He said the need for such a query on whether he had her support did not arise at all. “Everyone knows we have her support. My point is that there is no need for her statement to prove it.”
