Siddique’s arrival is to replace Avala Babu, who has been the general secretary of AMMA for more than 25 years. Siddique defeated Unni Sivapal and Kuku Parameswaran in the election for the post of general secretary. Jayan Cherthala and Jagadish won as Vice Presidents and Babu Raj as Secretary of the Join. Unni Mukundan had earlier won the post of treasurer of the organization unopposed. The new office bearers were elected at the annual general body meeting of AMMA held in Kochi. The stars also prepared a warm welcome for Suresh Gopi, who was elected as the Union Minister. Suresh Gopi is number one in the membership of Amma Sanghatan, though he has distanced himself from the organization in the meantime.
At the same time, these words of Maniyanpilla Raju were a new knowledge for many moviegoers. It was a new knowledge for many that it was Murali who suggested the name Amma for the organization. Clarifying all this, a viewer named Padmini K Dhanesh has also shared a note on the film fan community Cinefile. The full form of that note is as follows..The number one member of the ‘Amma’ organization belongs to Suresh Gopi, two to Ganesh Kumar and three to Maniyanpilla Raju. In 1994, Suresh Gopi tells Maniyanpilla Raju that everyone else has been organized. Why don’t we have an organization?
Raju Chetan said that he should go ahead with this and gave him twenty five thousand rupees in his hand. Then Ganesh Kumar and I put ten thousand rupees and the first meeting was held in Thiruvananthapuram panchayat hall with 85 people. It was only yesterday that I came to know that it was Murali who made the name ‘Amma’.
Yesterday, Suresh Gopi came as a special guest to Amma, and he came like a superstar hero. There was no pretense that he was a Union Minister.
Instead, he saw a man who was subdued by the love and care of many.
