Chennai: Former Minister and DMK senior leader Durai Murugan today said he was not trying to create ruckus within the party with an eye on general secretary post.
“Even if I am not given any post, I would remain as primary member of the party throughout my life. I am not in the party with an eye on posts,” he said in a statement here, refuting reports which claimed that he was demanding the top post, which is lying vacant after the death of K Anbazhagan.
Only a few days ago, DMK MLA Ku Ka Selvam raised a banner of revolt in the party by meeting BJP leaders in Delhi and slamming M K Stalin leadership.
On Wednesday, Selvam attended a special puja at BJP headquarters to mark the laying the foundation stone for construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya.
Though Selvam has not joined the saffron party formally, he was given a rousing reception by the BJP workers, who presented him saffron shawls at the airport on his arrival from New Delhi where he met Railways Minister Piyush Goyal and BJP National President J P Nadda Tuesday evening.
In a brief address to BJP workers at the airport he said he was yet to join the BJP and that many things would unfold from now onwards.
From the airport, Selvam drove straight to BJP office ‘Kamalalayam’, where also he was accorded a rousing welcome and participated in the special puja to mark foundation stone laying for Ram temple in Ayodhya by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Later, talking to reporters, he said he came to know that he was suspended from the DMK. “Even if they expel me from the primary membership of the DMK, I am not bothered”.
