CHENNAI, APRIL 11
Shattering the dreams of Chinnamma Sasikala, a local court in Chennai dismissed her petition against her removal as AIADMK general secretary in 2017.
Her plea was rejected by the IV additional city civil court following an interlocutory application from AIADMK Coordinator O Panneerselvam and joint coordinator E Palaniswami.
While EPS was a part of the AIADMK faction led by Sasikala and her nephew TTV Dhinakaran, both these leaders were expelled as a pre-condition for the merger with the OPS-led party faction. While the ex-AIADMK supremo argued that the General Council which expelled her was not valid, the court rejected this claim.
