Madurai: RK Nagar winner, TTV Dhinakaran launched his political party in Madurai today.

After a series of legal conflicts over the issue of allocation of party symbol, sidelined AIADMK leader TTV Dhinakaran on Thursday proposed his own political party and disclosed the flag at Melur in Madurai district.

“Amma Makkal Munetra Kazhagam will be the name of my party” announced TTV Dinakaran  his party name in TamilNadu.

 In his address he said, “We will win all upcoming elections from now by using latest name and party flag, we will also try to retrieve the two leaves symbol, till then will use cooker symbol, “TTVDinakaran asserted.

The Delhi High Court had on March 09 permitted Dhinakaran’s plea for allotment of a common symbol, preferably ‘pressure cooker’, and a name of his choice for the AIADMK group which leads by him.

The court order had appeared on an interim request filed by the Dhinakaran-VK Sasikala group in their main petition challenging the Election Commission’s November 23 order in 2017, which had allotted ‘two leaves’ symbol to the group headed by Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami and his Deputy O Panneerselvam.

Dhinakaran, who registered win in the RK Nagar Assembly by-poll, held in December 2017 as an independent candidate on the ‘pressure cooker’ symbol, had earlier requested the court that he needed a temporary name and symbol for his group to interact with the electorate in the prospect of elections to local bodies or any other polls. The by-poll was required by the death of late Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa who was hospitalized and died on 5 December 2016.
