Sasikala Factor: AIADMK Asks Cadres to Take Vow in 'Amma's Name' to Guard Party
Wary of the V K Sasikala factor, the AIADMK on Monday asked its cadres to take a pledge, in the name of J Jayalalithaa on the former chief minister's birth anniversary on February 24 by lighting a lamp in their houses, to guard the party. Their call to cadres assumes significance against the background of the recent return of expelled leader V K Sasikala to Tamil Nadu from Karnataka and her nephew Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam leader T T V Dhinakaran's stand to 'retrieve' the AIADMK. lamp at 6 pm on February 24, they should offer prayers to Jayalalithaa's 'atma' and take a vow in her name to protect people and guard the AIADMK till their last breath, they said. Sasikala is late AIADMK supremo Jayalalithaa's confidante and she returned here recently after serving a four year prison sentence in Bengaluru following conviction in an assets case.
