Sidelined AIADMK leader T.T.V. Dhinakaran said on Sunday that he is ready to contest the R.K. Nagar bypoll, which is scheduled to be held before December 31, but it would be party general secretary V.K. Sasikala who would name the candidate.
“The party General Secretary V.K. Sasikala will select the candidate and announce the name,” he said. The seat had fallen vacant after the death of former Chief Minister Jayalalithaa.
He urged all factions of AIADMK to accept Sasikala’s leadership and work under her. He also welcomed Lok Sabha Deputy Speaker M. Thambi Durai’s reported statement urging cadre to work for AIADMK’s victory in R.K. Nagar.
