Summary:
On Wednesday, Dhinakaran made his first court visit after the revolt, and there was a thin turnout of party cadres and functionaries. "It was done out of fear," he said, "but I don't know why." "I don't have regrets over the decision of being sidelined. I will not be the reason to weaken the party or the government," he told reporters outside an economic offences court where he appeared in connection with a laundering case. He wouldn't, however, resign as the deputy general secretary till he consulted his aunt and general secretary V K Sasikala Dhinakaran, who made a quick comeback and a quicker rise in the party soon after Jayalalithaa 's death in December 2017, felt his party colleagues' decision was taken in haste..
