The court has asked the poll body to assign a new name and symbol to the estranged AIADMK leader, who decided to launch his own political party after months of bitter feud with Tamil Nadu's ruling party. He has been locked in a battle in court after his plea to be assigned the two-leaf symbol of the AIADMK was turned down by the Election Commission. Tamil Nadu Minister Jayakumar, however, dismissed his latest manoeuvre saying, "AIADMK is like a lion and Dinakaran's party like a mosquito on the lion." Mr Dhinakaran said his party would capture power in the state and unveiled the party's black-red-white flag, which features the image of a smiling Jayalalithaa in the middle. Mr Dhinakaran paid homage to former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa and sought her blessings before the big launch. The announcement for the party, Amma Makkal Munnettra Kazhagam, was made in Madurai, the political capital of Tamil Nadu, which recently saw the much-awaited launch of actor-turned-politician Kamal Haasan's party, Makkal Needhi Maiam. TTV Dhinakaran, sidelined AIADMK leader and VK Sasikala's nephew, has launched his political party In Tamil Nadu today.
