Stalin holds discussions with party seniors ahead of district secretaries polls
Chief Minister MK Stalin on Monday discussed the issue of election of DMK district secretaries with senior leaders at party headquarters Anna Arivalayam.
Stalin got into a huddle with party seniors amid speculations that DMK deputy general secretary Subbulakshmi Jagadeeshan quit her position in the party.
The discussion happened a day after DMK general secretary Duraimurugan notified the election of district secretaries for the 65 party districts.
Chief Minister Stalin is understood to have elicited the seniors’ views on Subbulakshmi’s alleged resignation, which has happened in the backdrop of her husband Jagadeeshan publicly rebuking incumbent state Housing Minister S Muthusamy for his wife’s defeat in Modakurichi Assembly segment in the 2021 Assembly polls.
Subbulakshmi, the lone woman deputy general secretary of the party had lost by a meagre 281 votes to BJP’s Saraswati in her own backyard.
The defeated deputy general secretary was learnt to have vainly urged the high command to act on the Minister.
