This is our first victory: Selvam on Sasikala and family ouster from AIADMK

A day after K Palaniswami cabinet revolted against AIADMK (Amma) Deputy general secretary T T V Dhinakaran and decided to keep him and his family out of the party and the government, Selvam gave out the message of togetherness of AIADMK.

"Both factions will talk to fulfil the aspirations of lakhs of party workers", Panneerselvam said.

This is our faction's first victory that #Sasikala and her family have been ousted from the party," added Selvam.Dhinakaran, who was expelled from the AIADMK by Jayalalithaa, was reinducted by Sasikala and appointed the party’s deputy general secretary just before she proceeded to Bengaluru to serve the remnant of her jail term after the Supreme Court upheld her conviction and sentence in a disproportionate assets case in February this year.
