Handing over a letter dated October 6 to the Speaker at his chamber in the Secretariat, a copy of which was later released to the press, he said J Jayalalitha, who was only a ``nominated'' general secretary of the AIADMK, had no right or power to remove him from the party. The rebel AIADMK member unsuccessfully contested as an Independent in the just concluded Lok Sabha elections against official AIADMK candidate V Ramasamy from Sivakasi constituency.
