Is Sasikala's appointment the reason behind former Rajya Sabha MP P Kannan's resignation?

Former Rajya Sabha MP P Kannan announced his resignation from the AIADMK on Sunday. He told reporters here that he did not want to disclose the reason for his quitting AIADMK. But when reporters kept on asking him for the reason, he said "everything is obvious."
