Vk Sasikala

Former Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa decided against going abroad for medical treatment as she felt medicare facilities were available in Chennai, the late CM's former confidante V K Sasikala claimed on Friday.

"AIADMK only will lead the alliance in the upcoming general election. You will see soon who will lead the AIADMK on that. Cadres have total belief in me that I will unite the AIADMK," Sasikala said.

The treatment offered to J Jayalalithaa, the late Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, was a decision taken by her doctors, and VK Sasikala had nothing to do with it, her lawyer has told NDTV.

J Jayalalithaa's death in 2016 after being admitted to a top Chennai hospital should be investigated, a former judge has concluded in a lengthy report which slams at least one top government official and VK Sasikala, the close aide of the politician.

The murders at former Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa's Kodanadu estate bungalow were linked by some to the political churn in the state at the time.

A court in Chennai on Monday dismissed expelled AIADMK leader VK Sasikala's plea against her removal in a party general council in 2017.

ED has summoned AMMK leader TTV Dhinakaran this week for questioning in a money laundering case linked to alleged bribing of Election Commission officials to get the AIADMK's 'two leaves' symbol for the VK Sasikala faction.

AIADMK top leader K Palaniswami on Sunday reiterated that there is no place for VK Sasikala in the party saying no one could give a new lease of life to a matter that has already been settled.

The testimony of senior officials ruling out conspiracy by VK Sasikala or her family against late Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa is correct, AIADMK top leader O Panneerselvam said here on Tuesday in his deposition before an inquiry panel.

The Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) has filed a chargesheet in a case relating to alleged irregularities and preferential treatment provided to VK Sasikala, the close aide of former Tamil Nadu chief minister late J Jayalalithaa, at the Central Prison.

The Special Investigating Team (SIT), probing into the Kodanadu heist and murder case, on Wednesday interrogated Vivek Jayaraman, a close relative of late former Chief Minister Jayalalitha's close aide Sasikala, police said.

VK Sasikala, the aide of late Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, met actor Rajinikanth at the superstar's house in Poes Garden in Chennai on Monday evening, news agency ANI reported.

The year long (2021-22) golden jubilee celebrations of the AIADMK's founding began on Sunday, and it was marked by a renewed and an open attempt by VK Sasikala to get back control of the party by harping on ''unity'' mantra.

VK Sasikala, who announced in March that she will "stay away from politics and public life", paid floral tributes at the memorials of former chief ministers Jayalalithaa, MG Ramachandran and CN Annadurai along the Marina today.

Eleven properties linked to expelled AIADMK leader VK Sasikala have been seized by the Income Tax Department, sources said today.
