The inner coterie
The names keep changing as Jayalalithaa never allows a single partyman to get too close to her. With one constant: none dares aspire for the general secretary's post.
• O Panneerselvam: Said to be close to Sasikala, with both hailing from the Thevar community. Served as CM in 2001, holding the chair for Jayalalithaa till she was cleared in corruption cases. Now has replaced Dinakaran as AIADMK treasurer
• D Jayakumar: Former Fisheries Minister and currently the secretary of the All World MGR Manram
• M Thambidurai: Former Union Minister, currently AIADMK propaganda secretary
