Chennai, Jan 16 (SocialNews.XYZ) The Opposition AIADMK has exhorted upon party cadres, sympathisers, and the general public to bring back the 'Golden Rule' of the late AIADMK patriarch, M.G.

The AIADMK leaders said that it was MGR who had brought the world-renowned nutritious noon meal scheme to the state.

The leaders said that even though MGR had ruled Tamil Nadu for a decade from 1977 till 1987, his rule will always be considered as the golden rule of Tamil Nadu.

Ousted AIADMK leader, V.K.Sasikala in another statement said that the merger of the AIADMK was imperative to restore the AIADMK rule in the state. She also said that MGR who had formed the AIADMK in 1972 had in its bylaw stated that the cadres should elect the leaders.
