Jayalalithaa's aide Sasikala to become AIADMK general secretary?
According to reports, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister O Panneerselvam has also backed Sasikala's name as eligible to head the party.
OPS and several other senior minsters on Thursday visited the Poes Garden residence of Jayalalithaa to meet Sasikala.
According to reports, they asserted Sasikala that she is the only person to take the charge.
“After Amma it is only Chinnamma. Chinnamma follows Amma’s footsteps,” Lok Sabha Deputy Speaker M. Thambidurai was quoted as saying by the Deccan Chronicle.
Sasikala holds no official position in the party.
Senior AIADMK leader O Panneerselvam on Tuesday took oath as the new Tamil Nadu CM, hours after J Jayalalithaa passed away at a hospital here.
Tamil Nadu Governor C Vidyasagar Rao administered the oath ceremony.
Former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa , who was also a top heroine of Tamil film industry before she joined politics full time, was declared dead by the Apollo Hospital last Tuesday.
