AIADMK warns partymen against 'ticket' agents

By Our Special Correspondent

CHENNAI, FEB. 23. The AIADMK general secretary, Ms. Jayalalitha, today warned her partymen against falling prey to those who were collecting money with a promise of the AIADMK ticket in the Assembly election.

In a statement, she said a former AIADMK minister was demanding money from AIADMK ticket aspirants and assuring them seats. Partymen should not be deceived by those who claimed to be close to her, or senior party leaders and demanded money in return for the party ticket.

At no time had she entertained recommendations of anyone for the party ticket. Disciplinary action would be taken against not only those who indulged in collecting money by promising the party ticket, but also against those who gave money to others seeking the party ticket.

She had already expelled from the AIADMK the former minister, Mr. Ammamuthu Pillai, and four partymen in this connection.

Irregularities were never a part of the AIADMK candidate selection, she added.
