http://newsable.asianetnews.tv/editorial/exclusive-after-pms-meet-suspicious-aia dmk-factions-fracture-even-further As both Sasikala and TTV Dinakaran are in prison, there is no collective or united leadership in the Edapati Palanisamy camp. However, when this correspondent inquired with both factions of the AIADMK, specific interactions with the top leadership of both factions gave off murky feelings and a strong negative vibe. This is not conducive for the peace talks between the two camps. It appears that the Sasikala AIADMK faction is only splintering further, now that both Sasikala and TTV Dinakaran are in prison and there is no united leadership. Within the senior ministers of the Palanaisamy Council of Ministers, there are three or four factions, which each suspicious of the other. One wonders where this will lead if Dinakaran is not released at the earliest. The signs of the fracture are everywhere. On Wednesday, when CM Palanisamy was camping in New Delhi, three top ministers always surrounded Palanisamy, while the 'Thambidurai faction' of loyalists have been keeping a total distance. Sasikala loyalists, between eight to ten ministers, have intentionally kept away from the Palanisamy meeting and also avoided visiting New Delhi. Usually, the entire cabinet accompanied the CM to Delhi. Yesterday only four were seen in public. Sources reported that the factions were even wary of speaking to each other, fearing that the spoken words would be leaked to some other faction. Such were the murmurings and whispers in the corridors of the Tamil Nadu Guest House in Chanakyapuri, New Delhi. Insiders in the Sasikala AIADMK faction clearly hint that the first casualty of the new groupism is Deputy Speaker of Lok Sabha Thambidurai. Palanisamy set up his relative as the interpreter for the meeting with the PM, keeping Thambidurai out.  |
