Chennai: ‘The AIADMK's organ - Namadhu Amma launched an all out attack on T.T.V. Dinakaran and said “thieves and looters” can’t dream to hijack the party of MGR (founder and former CM M. G. Ramachandran) and Amma (late CM J. Jayalalithaa).
A poem published along with a cartoon, on Aug. 11, ridiculed the ‘attempts’ of Dhinakaran, AMMK leader, in trying to usurp the AIADMK, and questioned whether a person of his stature can ever dream or long to take over the reins of the ruling party that was nurtured by Makkal Thilagam (as MGR was called) and Puratchi Thalaivi (Jayalalithaa).
“Can those with greed for money ever ask for the diadem?” the poem asked without directly naming him. “Can those oscillating from jail and bail or condition bail, dream of capturing the party of MGR who lives in the hearts and homes of the Tamils,” it asked.
The poem recalled the extraordinary traits of MGR who indulged in philanthropy and rolled out numerous welfare schemes including food (rice) to feed the hungry mouths, and ‘light’ to illuminate huts, to indicate that the likes of Dhinakaran is no match to the iconic leader who founded the party and that Dhinakaran can never gain proximity to the party which still followed the legacy of the two ‘revolutionary leaders.’
Shooting yet another barb at him, the author asked, “can the Satan, aspire to occupy the temple where the gods dwell?”
This is not the first time the party organ had lashed out at Dhinakaran. In the last few months, the paper has been highly critical of him.
