The constitution of a high-level administrative committee by the Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (AMMK) is an indication that the party, which has been lying low, is striving to make its presence felt, according to a cross-section of office-bearers.
On Thursday, the AMMK general secretary T.T.V. Dhinakaran announced the formation of the seven-member panel with former legislator from the Harur constituency of Dharmapuri district, R. Murugan, as the chief. The committee includes former Pollachi MP K. Sugumar and two former MLAs, R. Balasubramani and M. Kothandapani.
The selection of Mr. Murugan, who belongs to the Adi-Dravidar community, assumes importance as the panel’s main functions include identification of right candidates at the time of elections and holding negotiations with prospective allies.
