![]() Now, Dhinakaran and Sasikala are outlying contenders to Jayalalithaa’s party, which now rests with Panneerselvam and Palaniswami. The Former Chief Minister also said that he would work with AMMK Chief TTV Dhinakaran if there was an opportunity. While the ED case continues, the political scene has seen dramatic changes from the tumultuous days following Jayalalithaa’s death. Disgruntled AIADMK leader O Panneerselvam on Friday indicated that he would meet expelled AIADMK leader VK Sasikala and AMMK Chief TTV Dhinakaran soon and said will join forces with the duo if needed to maintain party unity. The Enforcement Directorate had filed a case and probed into the money trail after it was alleged that Dhinakaran had paid Chandrasekhar in order to bribe an EC official. Former Tamil Nadu chief minister, O Panneerselvam (OPS), met TTV Dhinkaran, the general secretary of the Amma Makkal. His statement will be recorded under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) once he deposes. The minor parties like TTV, Dhinakaran's AMMK, Vijayakanth's DMDK, and Kamal Haasan's MNM didn't create the slightest impact on the voters. The 58-year-old AMMK general secretary has been asked to depose before the agency on April 8. In a bid to secure the ‘two leaves’ election symbol for the Sasikala faction, Dhinakaran allegedly attempted to bribe an EC official through ‘conman’ Sukesh Chandrasekhar, another alleged associate of Dhinakaran.Ĭhandrashekar was arrested in April 2017 from a five-star hotel by the Delhi Police for allegedly taking money from Dhinakaran to bribe EC officials to get the AIADMK’s ‘two leaves’ symbol in a by-election to the RK Nagar assembly seat in Tamil Nadu. In March 2017, AIADMK nominated Dinakaran. In a big twist in the political arena in Tamil Nadu, ousted AIADMK leader O Panneerselvam (OPS) and his political advisor Panruti S Ramachandran met AMMK chief TTV Dhinakaran in Chennai on Monday evening. Dinakaran is a politician and deputy general secretary of All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam party. Thiruthurapoondi Thiruvenkatam Vivekananda Dhinakaran (born 13 December 1963) is an Indian politician and founding General Secretary of Amma Makkal Munneetra Kazagam. In 2017, soon after the death of AIADMK icon J Jayalalithaa, a bitter factional war broke out between O Panneerselvam and VK Sasikala, Dhinakaran’s aunt. OPS, Dhinakaran and Sasikala belong to the same Thevar community which has a strong voter-base in southern Tamil Nadu. The deceased has been identified as advocate Gopinath, who was working as a subordinate for a counsel of Dhinakaran in the bribery case, sources said. ![]() ![]() A 31-year-old witness in the case against TTV Dhinakaran linked to the alleged bribing of an Election Commission official, died by suicide on Wednesday, just hours after Dhinakaran was summoned to appear before the probe agency, according to sources aware of the developments.
