Sasikala holds meetings with AIADMK cadres, MLAs

Four days after taking over as AIADMK General Secretary, V K Sasikala on Wednesday held consultative meetings with district level cadres, MLAs and MPs at the party headquarters here.

Meanwhile, two petitions seeking a probe into the treatment given to former Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa have been filed in the Madras High Court which on Wednesday tagged them along with an earlier PIL which has sought an inquiry into the circumstances leading to her death. 

The series of meetings with functionaries from various districts across Tamil Nadu, expected to go on till January 9, comes in the background of several party units passing resolutions urging her to take up the post of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister.

Party sources said Sasikala met general council members, district office-bearers, MPs, MLAs and functionaries at the levels of town, town panchayat and panchayat union.

Today functionaries from Chennai, Kanchipuram, Tiruvallur, Vellore and Tiruvannamalai took part in the meetings.

While no meeting has been scheduled by AIADMK tomorrow, functionaries from districts including Theni and Dindigul will meet Sasikala on January 6.
