Chennai: Terming the income tax raids at the Poes Garden residence as an “insult to J. Jayalalithaa’s soul”, rebel AIADMK leader TTV Dhinakaran on Friday accused Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami and his deputy O. Panneerselvam of being behind the searches to “further their political interests.” Taking to Twitter, Dhinakaran said “both would go to any extent” to remain in power. "Whatever be the reason that is given for the raids, it is betrayal of Amma's soul. I charge that EPS and OPS are behind this. I am sure they will go to any extent to further their political interests and to remain in power," he wrote on Twitter.
Dhinakaran also said both Palaniswami and Panneerselvam will have to answer all questions posted by 1.5 crore cadre of the AIADMK. "What are they going to say for this betrayal?" he asked.
