New Delhi: Amid war of supremacy between two camps of AIADMK led by Chief Minister K Palaniswami and TTV Dhinakaran, Tamil Naidu Revenue Minister R B Udhaya Kumar has release a video purportedly of the late J Jayalalithaa's remarks against her aide V K Sasikala and her family.  

On his part, Dhinakaran, the party's sidelined deputy chief, continued with his 'sacking' spree, removing a minister from a party post, and also split a district unit to accommodate his supporters. State Revenue Minister Kumar released two CDs purportedly of speeches of late Jayalalithaa.

While one of them is apparently linked to expulsion of Sasikala and her family members from AIADMK in 2011, the other was Jayalalithaa's words of praise for Palaniswami in 2013. 

After releasing the CDs, the minister said that one of the CDs contained Jayalalithaa's speech in 2011 in the party General Council, warning of action against those who maintained any truck with Sasikala and other expelled relatives of hers. 

However, the video did not show Jayalalithaa naming anybody. "Amma (Jayalalithaa) had said (then) that those who have been removed were contacting office-bearers, claiming they would like to return close to the power centre," he said. 

Jayalalithaa is heard making such remarks in the video, saying there was "no pardon" to those going against the party high command. 

In 2011, Jayalalithaa expelled Sasikala and her family members, including Dhinakaran, for alleged anti-party activities. However, she later readmitted Sasikala alone. 

In February this year, Sasikala, before being lodged in a prison in Bengaluru in the Rs 66.6 crore disproportionate assets case, had re-inducted Dhinakaran, besides another relative S Venkatesh into the party. 

Sasikala, who was appointed AIADMK chief in December 2016 following Jayalalithaa's death, had also elevated Dhinakaran as AIADMK Deputy General Secretary. 

In the second video, Jayalalithaa is seen heaping praise on Palaniswami during a function, crediting him with being by the side of party high command during "challenging times".
