Meanwhile, the ruling AIADMK on Friday expelled over 150 office-bearers
Tamil Nadu MLA TTV Dhinakaran's recent remark has sparked a controversy. Dhinakaran on Friday claimed that he can get the Tamil Nadu government dissolved.
"If I want, I can get TN government dissolved but many MLAs are sending me feelers asking me not to do it yet. They said they will throw out those anti-Amma people from the government soon," Dhinakaran noted.
Dhinakaran also blamed the state government for not taking up the Cauvery issue properly with the central government due to political reasons.
"The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is at the Centre and is going to fight elections in Karnataka, so this Tamil Nadu Government does not want any problems to be created due to the Cauvery issue for BJP in Karnataka. And, that is why they (TN Government) have not taken up this issue properly with the Centre," Dhinakaran alleged.
Meanwhile, the ruling AIADMK on Friday expelled over 150 office-bearers in the wake of its loss in the RK Nagar Assembly bypoll.
Deputy Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu Panneerselvam and Chief Minister Palaniswami issued a joint statement stating that the move was taken against the party members who acted in "contravention to the party's policies and ideals," and for "bringing disrepute" to it.
The members have been expelled from their present posts and have also lost AIADMK’s primary membership.
