Chennai, Aug 3 (BPNS)

Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (AMMK) general secretary, TTV Dhinakaran said that the assembly elections for Tamil Nadu will be held along with the 2024 general elections. He said that the corruption during the present DMK regime has increased much above the previous AIADMK government.

The AMMK leader who is also the nephew of estranged AIADMK interim general secretary, V.K. Sasikala was speaking to reporters at Guindy after paying floral tributes to freedom fighter Dheeran Chinnamalai.

The senior leader clarified that his recent meeting with former Theni district secretary of the AIADMK, Syed Khan, and others was a courtesy meeting and politics was not involved.

He said that the recent raids conducted by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in many parts of Tamil Nadu and seizure of drugs were a pointer to the failing law and order situation of the state.

The statement of Dhinakaran has sparked speculations in Tamil Nadu politics as there are reports of moves of her and his aunt Sasikala joining hands with estranged AIADMK leader, O. Panneerselvam and trying to take over AIADMK.

Meanwhile, senior leaders including AIADMK interim general secretary, Edappadi K. Palaniswami and his supporters also paid floral tributes to the portrait of freedom fighter Dheeran Chinnamalai at Guindy.

Naan Tamilar Katchi leader and movie actor, Seeman, and PMK leaders Dr. S. Ramadoss and his son Anbumani Ramadoss also tributes to Dheeran Chinnamalai.
