Patali Makkal Kachi (PMK) President Dr. Abumani Ramdos on Thursday morning in Talapuram near Tindivanam, in the ancestral house of the family, his father and the founder of the party, Dr. Payed a stunning trip to S. Ramdos, which mark the first conversation since his highly promoted decline on the party’s leadership.
During a 45 -minute visit, Abumani was with his younger daughter Sanjuthara. The meeting has sent a wave through PMK ranks and the political scenario of the state, triggering speculation of a possible coordination.
However, internal sources insisted that it was only the “first round” in a slow and complex harmony process. A senior PMK work of the family told The Indian Express, “This will be resolved only when Abumani shows respect, and promises to take care of his sister Gandhimathy and his son.” “What happened today is just the beginning. You can take two or three such rounds (of the meeting) to settle.”
The quarrel between father and son, once seen as an ideological and organizational core of PMK, has developed in a fully developed generational and family crisis, combining party politics with personal complaints.
Last month, the 85 -year -old elder Ramdoss publicly announced that his son was a Union Minister was a mistake and removed him from the post of party president and named himself “working President”, resulting in uncertainty about the future of PMK.
Thursday’s meeting also included subtle but important gestures. As Abumani met his parents inside, his sister Gandhimathy – whose son Mukundan was recently made the young wing president and is said to have resigned shortly after – he arrived at his residence.
Abumani left immediately after his arrival, making speculation that the unresolved brother -in -law’s dynamics could be central for deadlock as political control.
In arbitration appeared as a parallel attempt, RSS and AIADMK also interacted with Ramdos. The role played in talks by BJP and AIADMK is important in view of the stability of PMK. There was also a question between father and son towards AIADMK and BJP. When Abumani preferred to enter the state coalition through NDA, Ramdos insisted that he should see AIADMK as Prime Eli.
