AIADMK coordinator O. Panneerselvam and joint-coordinator Edappadi K. Palaniswami would decide on the re-entry of Jayalalithaa’s close confidante V.K. Sasikala, who did nothing for the party’s victory in the recently concluded Assembly polls, former Minister and Kovilpatti MLA Kadambur C. Raju said. Speaking to reporters here on Monday after distributing kabasura kudineer and masks to the public on behalf of AIADMK’s Information Technology Wing, Mr. Raju said Mr. Palaniswami had made the party’s stand on Mrs. Sasikala’s re-entry and her purported conversations with a few very clear. Any decision taken by the party’s coordinator and the joint-coordinator on her re-entry into AIADMK would be final, Mr. Raju said.
