AIADMK Talks Break-Up After Tamil Nadu BJP Chief's Dig At Jayalalithaa
The AIADMK, already miffed by the controversial comments of Tamil Nadu BJP chief K Annamalai, has given an ultimatum to the party: "Rein him in, or else...".
Chennai: The BJP's loss in Karnataka may soon be compounded with a break with its only ally in Tamil Nadu, the AIADMK. The southern ally, already miffed by the controversial comments of state BJP chief K Annamalai, has given an ultimatum to the party: "Rein him in, or else...".
Mr Annamalai, who divides his time equally between needling the DMK and AIADMK, has made a comment the ally finds it hard to overlook.

AIADMK icon former Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, he tacitly indicated in an interview with an English daily, was convicted in a disproportionate assets case.
Although Jayalalithaa's aide VK Sasikala and a few others were ultimately convicted by the Supreme Court in a disproportionate assets case in which the former Chief Minister was the prime accused, Jayalalithaa died before the final verdict. So while the top court's verdict nullified the favourable verdict by the Karnataka High Court, it did not convict her technically.

The remarks have incensed the AIADMK, which has said unless action is taken against Mr Annamalai, they will "rethink the alliance".

Senior party leader D Jayakumar said, "Annamalai is not qualified to be a state president of a party. He should mind his words. We suspect he doesn't want the alliance to continue nor does he want Prime Minister Modi to win again".

The actions of the state BJP chief often raises doubts in the AIADMK camp whether the former IPS officer is acting as the mouthpiece of the party's central leadership.
