Tamil Nadu: Sasikala Natarajan to be Jayalalithaa's successor as AIADMK GS
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.
