Palaniswami may also have to report to R P Ravanan, yet another member of the Mannargudi family, who was instrumental in promoting him ever since Kongu region strongman K A Sengottaiyan – now a minister – introduced him, said a party functionary.
Sensing the onset of a Mannargudi ‘raj’, DMK working president M K Stalin called upon Palaniswami to work within the framework of the Constitution and not be remote controlled by Sasikala.
Dinakaran and his cousin S Venkatesh, who was re-inducted into the party after a gap of five years by Sasikala on Wednesday, have been calling shots in the state administration ever since Jayalalithaa’s death. The two were responsible for packing off former adviser to the government Sheela Balakrishnan and secretaries to the chief minister – K N Venkataramanan and A Ramalingam – earlier this month.
