In a setback for VK Sasikala, the Madras High Court on Monday upheld the decision of removing the veteran leader from the position of general secretary of AIADMK after the death of former chief minister J Jayalalithaa in 2016.
Speaking about the same, AIADMK spokesperson Kovai Sathyan said that the party had filed a petition to dismiss the claim of VK Sasikala as general secretary. The honourable judge, acknowledging the petition filed by Edappadi Palaniswami and O Panneerselvam, dismissed Sasikala’s plea and passed an order favouring EPS and OPS.”
After the HC dismissed her plea, Sasikala told the reporters that she would soon challenge the decision in the Supreme Court.
After completing her four-year prison term in Bengaluru, Sasikala returned to Tamil Nadu on February 8, 2021. Although, she first indicated that she would be interested in active politics, later announced her decision to stay away.
