'AIADMK Amma' for Sasikala, 'AIADMK Puratchi Thalaivi Amma' for OPS


New Delhi, Mar 23 (Deccan Chronicle): The Election Commission on Thursday allotted the ‘Hat’ symbol to the Sasikala camp of AIADMK, and said the new party would be named AIADMK Amma.

The EC also stated that the O Panneerselvam camp would use the ‘Electric Pole’ symbol and the new party formed by its faction would be called 'AIADMK Puratchi Thalaivi Amma'. This signals a split in the 45-year-old party following the death of Jayalalithaa.

The EC had earlier allotted the 'Autorickshaw' symbol to the Sasikala camp, but changed it to 'Hat' on its request.

The VK Sasikala camp in the AIADMK on Thursday told the Election Commission that it wanted to name the party ‘ADMK Amma’.

The EC had given the Sasikala camp the option of choosing ‘Auto’, ‘Bat’ or ‘Cap’ as its symbol.

The EC had on Wednesday frozen the AIADMK symbol of ‘Two Leaves’ after both the Panneerselvam camp and the Sasikala camp approached it claiming rights to the symbol.

Instead, it had asked both camps to select new party symbols.

    Logical Indian, Kudla
    Sir, You are the only logical man in India. If Amma was not VX or poisoned the health report would have been already made public. It logical to think than how does Amma who has no critical illness despite International not responded to the treatment.

    If Amma wish she could have been taken to best known hospital in the world in private air ambulance. What made her to stay back in Tamil Nadu is seriously questionable?

    Amma is the victim of political conspiracy. As long Amma is alive BJP can't make any inroads in Dravidian politics. Thanks to BJP and EC Amma party symbol has rest with her. Now it is matter of couple of month Panneerselvam 'electric pole' will be distributing electricity and hats will be exchanged for cash.

    Be logical man you can do your own political analysis why Jallikattu, Cauvery is important for BJP. SM Krishan has finally enlighten the true meaning of politics. When will you wake up?

    Election commission is working in the interest of BJP. 90% of MLAs, MPs backing Sasikala group and they formed the govt in the state. So Sasikala faction is real AIADMK and the symbol must go to them automatically. Two regional parties are dominated voters in Tamilandu and there was no place for the national party. So BJP wanted to destroy any one of this Dravida party, so that they can come to picture there. After demise of Jayalalitha, BJP got this chance to break the AIADMK and election commission is helping them to decimate this party. The same election commission helped BJP to get the power in UP by tampering the EVMs.

    Election commision after deliberately giving one and half month to manipulate EVM's in favour of BJP in just concluded assembly elections know paving the way for BJP to rode southwards.

    Sasikala and Panneerselvam camp has only asked for the who will be rightful owner of AIADMK official party symbol.Autonomous election commison in one shot completely destroyed the identity of 45 years Dravidian party.

    Interestingly EC decision is coincide with the BJP national meeting in Coimbatore attended by RSS head Mohan bhagwat and Amit Shah. It is no doubt that O Panneerselvam camp ‘Electric Pole’ is supplying electricity for BJP in the coming days with another mass 'operation Kamala' to make inroad into Dravidian politics. While Sasikala still languishing in jail some 'hats' will also shield BJP can't be ruled out.

    BJP will not touch AIADMK camp which as on know because it may affect in Rajya Sabha votes till 2018 when BJP will be majority. So iron lady 'Amma' demise is political conspiracy to spread the wing of BJP in the south.

    As 'Amma' was radioactively or VX poisoned in West Bengal Mamata Banerjee will be similarly finished. So one can understand controversy around Jallikattu and Cauvery water is important for BJP in Tamil Nadu.
