AIADMK is in a shambles: Ramadoss

A day after walking out of the AIADMK-led front, Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) founder Dr S Ramadoss today said the AIADMK was in a shambles and party leader J Jayalalithaa had lost administrative skills and leaderhip quality.

Talking to newspersons here, he said the AIADMK had been a formidable party with the strength of the cadres before 2001, but now it was ruined by confusion and factionalism at all levels.

''Party leader Jayalalithaa has lost the leadership quality,'' he said, adding she herself had admitted that partymen had pledged their integrity for money during the May Lok Sabha elections and this itself would show the present status of AIADMK.

He said the PMK, which forged an alliance with the AIADMK prior to the Lok Sabha elections in May this year, walked out after six months to protect its self-respect.

After former AIADMK Minister C Ve Shanmugam tried to implicate him, his son and former Union Minister Dr Anbumani Ramadoss and his family members in a murder case and Ms Jayalalithaa failed to intervene, he realised there was no point in continuing, he said.

When the party convened its administrative committee meeting, the members were unanimous that the party should quit the AIADMK alliance immediately, he said. After forging an alliance with the AIADMK in 2001, the PMK walked out of the alliance in three months and now it quit the front after six months, he said.
