Expelled All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam leader and confidante of late party supremo J Jayalalithaa, V K Sasikala, announced the launch of a new political party, just months ahead of the Tamil Nadu elections where a four-cornered contest is likely with her arrival.
Sasikala, close aide of late Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa asserted that, ‘we are going to witness a new political chapter’.
According to PTI, Addressing an event to mark the birth anniversary of Jayalalithaa at Kamuthi near in Ramanathapuram, she declared: “I will soon announce the name of the new party, there is no change in it. It will function as a party that defeats opponents and betrayers alike; we are going to witness a new (political) chapter.”
“As far as I’m concerned, I have made a clear decision, it is for the sake of Tamil Nadu, its people and for our cadres; we are going to witness a new arena (chapter), we are going to start a new party, this will be a Dravidian party,” she added.
The party will be for the common man, the ordinary and poor, following the path of Dravidian stalwart C N Annadurai, MGR (M G Ramachandran) and ‘Amma’ Jayalalithaa, she added.
Her foray with a new party could well result in a four-cornered electoral contest in the state Assembly polls, due in April, with the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam-led Secular Progressive Alliance on one side and the AIADMK-headed National Democratic Alliance on the other.
Actor Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam is making its electoral debut in the hustings slated in about two months.
Sasikala alleged that the DMK was an evil force and vowed to dislodge it from the seat of power.
On Tuesday, Sasikala unveiled the flag of the to-be named party and it features the images of Dravidian icon Annadurai, AIADMK founder M G Ramachandran (MGR) and Jayalalithaa.
The flag is a horizontal tricolour of black on top, white on middle and red on the bottom.
