In a major political development ahead of the Tamil Nadu polls, V K Sasikala, expelled All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam leader and close aide of late chief minister J Jayalalithaa, much to the surprise of political pundits has dramatically announced that “she will stay away from politics,” but would pray for the “golden rule” of the late party supremo.
“I will stay away from politics and keep praying my sister Puratchi Thalaivi (Jayalalithaa), whom I consider as God, and the Lord Almighty for the establishment of the golden rule of Amma,” she said in a statement.
She appealed to Jayalalithaa’s “true supporters” to work unitedly in the April 6 elections and prevent “common enemy”, DMK, identified as “evil force” by the late chief minister, from coming to power.
After being released from a Bengaluru prison following completion of a four-year term in an assets case, Sasikala had last month announced her intention to engage in active politics.
