MADURAI (TIP): Rebel AIADMK leader TTV Dhinakaran on March 15 floated a new political party — Amma MakkalMunnetra Kazhagam — named after late Tamil Nadu CM J Jayalalithaa.

“From today, we will function with a name to retrieve the great movement of AIADMK from the betrayers,” Dhinakaran told a gathering on the occasion, challenging the ruling dispensation in the state. Dhinakaran and his followers often use the word “betrayers” to refer to the ruling AIADMK in Tamil Nadu, led by CM K Palaniswami and his deputy, O Panneerselvam. The party’s name roughly translates to

“Amma’s party for people’s development”.
