AMMK won’t align with ‘betrayers’: Dhinakaran

MADURAI: Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (AMMK) general secretary TTV Dhinakaran on Sunday said that he won’t align with betrayers, but will forge an alliance with like-minded parties to face the LS polls.

Talking to reporters in Dindigul after convening a meeting with party cadre, Dhinakaran termed Edappadi K Palaniswami-led AIADMK as ‘throga sakthi’ and the AMMK would never ally with them-be it LS polls or Assembly elections.

All loyal supporters of former CM and AIADMK supremo J Jayalalithaa are with the AMMK, Dhinakaran claimed. He said that it will contest the polls joining hands with O Pannerselvam, who was expelled from AIADMK. Coming down heavily on EPS, the AMMK leader said Palaniswami, the AIADMK general secretary and leader of the opposition, knew nothing other than betrayal.

Even a small child knows who saved the previous four-and-a-half years of AIADMK regime, Dhinakaran said. “Palaniswami even betrayed the trust of a leader who made him the Chief Minister. Palaniswami is daydreaming about winning from all the 40 LS seats in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry. But it would never happen because a betrayer could not succeed,” the AMMK leader said.
