The AIADMK-led vacuum was created after Jayalalithaa's demise. The AIADMK General Committee elected Sasikala as the General Secretary of the party.
Sasikala's desire to become chief minister led to her going to jail in a property-accumulation scam case against Jayalalithaa.
Before going to jail, Sasikala left Edappadi Palanichamy as the chief minister of tamil Nadu and Dinakaran as the Deputy General Secretary of the party. The O.P.S. The ensuing Dharmayutham did not make a big impact and the OPS rejoined the AIADMK. The pressure of the ruling bjp was high amid his merger.
O.P.S. At the General Committee meeting held after the rejoining of the AIADMK, the post of General Secretary of the AIADMK was abolished altogether and was replaced by the post of Coordinator-Co-Coordinator.
The legal provisions of the party were amended accordingly. OBS and EPS were elected to these posts respectively. The post of Deputy Coordinator was also created.
Sasikala, a former MP, opposed such legal amendments. K.C. The cases pending in the court separately from Palanisamy are still pending. At the same time, the dual leadership had no problem with the AIADMK in power. In this situation, Sasikala, who was released after completing 4 years of imprisonment, is claiming that I am the general secretary of the party to capture the AIADMK.
Thus, the party should not have dual leadership; Voices for a single leadership were raised among the AIADMK's secondary leaders and it began to gain strength.
AIADMK is in a triangular problem with such a double leadership, Sasikala. Thus executives and siblings suffer from a lack of enthusiasm. AIADMK coordinator O. Panneerselvam and co-coordinator Edappadi Palanisamy paid floral tributes to former chief minister Jayalalithaa at her memorial in chennai on the occasion of her 5th anniversary.
In this situation, the shoes thrown at the vehicle in which Edappadi Palanisamy was going caused shock. Thus there was a commotion. OPS and Edappadi look at each other and do politics out of fear.
In addition, both the Edappadi, Sasikala and Kodanadu cases have to be politicized out of fear.
