Former aide of late Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalitha, expelled All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) leader VK Sasikala continues to raise the political temperature in Tamil Nadu.
As the latest development in Tamil Nadu politics, Sasikala’s advocate Raja Senthur Pandian has moved the city civil court, seeking directives from the court to reappoint Sasikala as the general secretary of AIADMK.
According to the Tamil media, the civil court said it will hear the suit on the 15th of March.
In the suit filed in the civil court, Sasikala said that she is the general secretary of AIADMK and she should be reinstalled in the post. She has also submitted the details of three nationalised bank accounts, which handle the party funds in the affidavit.
Right from her discharge from the Victoria Hospital in Bengaluru, Sasikala is leaving any stone unturned to claim the political legacy of Jayalalithaa, whom Sasikala often calls Akka.
While heading to a resort in Bengaluru after her discharge from the Victoria hospital, Sasikala used the AIADMK flag, which kickstarted a small size political storm in Tamil Nadu. The AIADMK slammed Sasikala for her actions, while Chinnamma backed her actions.
VK Sasikala has knocked on the doors of the city court challenging the party’s decision to sack her as the AIADMK general secretary in 2017. She also sought legal proceedings against Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami, Deputy Chief Minister O Panneerselvam, and party presidium chairman E Madhusudhanan and others in this regard.
