Continuing with her shake-ups in the party ranks post-elections, AIADMK supremo and Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa on Tuesday removed Labour Minister K P Munusamy from the party’s two key posts, including the powerful district secretary rank.
In a brief statement, Ms Jayalalithaa, also the party General Secretary, said Mr Munusamy was being relieved as Krishnagiri district secretary.
AIADMK Headquarters Secretary and Higher Education Minister P Palaniappan will handle the party affairs in Krishnagiri till someone is appointed to the post.
In a separate release, Ms Jayalalithaa said Mr Munusamy was also being removed from the party’s disciplinary committee, an elite league which has only three other members, including Finance Minister O Panneerslevam, and replaced him with Salem Rural Secretary and Highways and Minor Ports Minister Edappady K Palanisamy.
