AIADMK Leader Rules Out Scope for VK Sasikala In Party After OPS Comment

"There is no chance for that (inducting Sasikala into the AIADMK) to happen. It's all over...this question has been answered several times before...no one can give a new lease of life to a decision that has been implemented," said K Palaniswami.

AIADMK top leader K Palaniswami on Sunday reiterated that there is no place for VK Sasikala in the party saying no one could give a new lease of life to a matter that has already been settled.

Days after his colleague and party coordinator, O Panneerselvam (OPS) said he personally had respect and admiration for Ms Sasikala, the confidante of late Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, Mr Palaniswami made it clear that there is no scope for her in the party.

Already, the party brass had passed a resolution against admitting her into the organisation and it was seconded by the party's district units across the state, Mr Palaniswami told reporters here when asked if there are chances for her being taken back into the AIADMK.

This decision of the party, as reflected by the resolutions passed by the top leadership and district units, was announced by him and OPS, he recalled. Only two party units (including one in Theni region) did not adopt such resolutions, he said.
