She said that she will come soon and set the party straight. The latest clip emerged a day after the AIADMK headed by Panneerselvam and former CM Edappadi K Palaniswami sacked 15 people she spoke with recently. “Other elections are coming up. We have to win and protect Jayalalithaas legacy. I am pained that party workers are expelled when we are in opposition” she is heard saying. “I have a responsibility. I am confident that I would be able to set the party straight. My wish is that the AIADMK should be strong even if it turns 100 years. We would definitely bring Amma rule.
