Expelled AIADMK leader and Gobichettipalayam MLA K.A. Sengottaiyan is preparing
to join Vijay’s Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK).
Senior TVK members and Sengottaiyan’s supporters said that the veteran leader
will meet TVK president Vijay and officially join the party on Thursday.
When reporters at the Coimbatore airport asked Sengottaiyan on Tuesday if he
planned to join TVK, he did not give a clear yes or no. He said, “In my 50 years
in politics, I have faced many good and bad times.”I worked for the AIADMK
movement through everything, and this is the ‘reward’ I got — I was removed
from the party, as if I should not even remain a member. You can understand
how painful this is.”
