Jayakumar justifies absence of EPS at Governor’s tea party

AIADMK organization secretary and former minister D. Jayakumar on Tuesday said there is no compulsion on his organization to attend a tea party organized by Governor RN Ravi at the Raj Bhavan on the occasion of Independence Day.

AIADMK interim general secretary Edappadi K. Mr. Jayakumar made the remarks when asked about Palaniswami’s absence from the programme.

On AIADMK’s criticism of AMMK general secretary TTV Dhinakaran, the former minister termed his comments as “unacceptable”. He reiterated that neither Mr. Dinakaran nor former Chief Minister Jayalalithaa’s close aide VK Sasikala would be given a place in the AIADMK.
