Chennai, Dec 29 (IBNS) Tamil Nadu's ruling AIDMK on Thursday finally decided to confer the party's leadership on Sasikala Natarajan by making her the successor to departed leader J Jayalalithaa,reports said.

Natarajan, 54, who had been the closest aid of Jayalalithaa for long,  will take over as AIADMK General Secretary on January 2, a party meeting decided.

The post has been lying vacant since the death of Jayalalithaa on  December 5.

"Like we saw MGR (MG Ramachandran) in Jayalalithaa, we see Jayalalithaa in Sasikala,"  Tamil Nadu Chief Minister O Panneerselvam said.

Panneerselvam is the first Chief Minister from AIADMK who will not be the party's General Secretary.

Jayalalithaa held both the key posts for long.
