AIADMK makes one more bid for seat change

Deccan Chronicle  

Chennai: A team of AIADMK leaders, led by former Minister K A Sengottaiyan, called on Speaker M Appavu on Friday and handed over a letter from their general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami requesting the provision of a seat to R B Udhayakumar, who has been chosen as the Deputy Leader of the Opposition, in the front row of the Assembly, next to the Leader of the Opposition. Sengottaiyan told media persons that they had already handed over two letters to the Speaker requesting him to allot the seat next to Palaniswami to Udhayakumar after the former Deputy Leader of the Opposition, O Panneerselvam, was expelled from the party. Now that the dispute has been settled with the Supreme Court and also the ECI giving verdicts in favour of the Palaniswami group and recognizing him as the party general secretary, besides approving of all the decisions taken in their General Council meetings, the Speaker should accede to their long standing demand, Sengottaiyan said. The delegation comprising former Minister D Jayakumar and a clutch of AIADMK MLAs demanded that the Speaker give in writing the reasons for not allotting the seat meant for Deputy Leader of the Opposition to their nominee if he were to insist on not making the change.
