Ruling AIADMK today made light of sidelined leader TTV Dhinakaran launching a party, saying his exit only fulfilled the "last wish" of late chief minister and party supremo Jayalalithaa.
"...there is joy as the last wish of Kaviya Thalaivi (epoch making leader Jayalalithaa) has been fulfilled today. Yes a....group has exited," AIADMK's mouthpiece "Namadhu Amma" said referring to Dhinakaran floating his own outfit.
Meanwhile, reacting to Dhinakaran's vow to "retrieve the AIADMK," senior leader and Fisheries Minister D Jayakumar likened the dissident leader to a "mosquito," that sat on a "lion," which is the ruling party.
"And the mosquito has now gone away and every body is happy with Amma's regime which has been governing Tamil Nadu well," he told reporters
