A day after the Supreme Court upheld her conviction for corruption along with two relatives and J Jayalalithaa,AIADMK general secretary V K Sasikala on Wednesday Feb 15,2017 reinducted her close relatives TTV Dinakaran and S Venkatesh into AIADMK
Notably, Dinkaran and Venkatesh were expelled by late chief minister Jayalalithaa in 2011.
In 2011, Jayalalithaa had expelled Dinakaran and Venkatesh, besides Sasikala and her husband M Natarajan, from AIADMK, amidst reports then that they interfered in party and government administration.
Although she withdrew the "disciplinary action" against her close aide, after Sasikala expressed regret, Jayalalithaa had, however, said that the others' expulsion would continue.
In a significant move, Sasikala announced that TTV Dinakaran, her nephew and a former Rajya Sabha member, was being appointed as the AIADMK's Deputy General Secretary and urged the cadres to extend their cooperation to him.
In a statement, Sasikala said: “Dinakaran and Venkatesh are allowed to join the party after they expressed regret for their acts in person and through letter and requested that they be allowed to join the party (again)."
