The VK Sasikala versus O Panneerselvam duel in the ruling AIADMK for the post of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister has seen bitter words traded publicly by the two leaders as they await the Governor's decision on who will get a chance first to prove majority support of party legislators on the floor of the state assembly. "There are many people who worked in Amma's house. Will all of them become Amma? The people of Tamil Nadu will never accept this," said interim Chief Minister O Panneerselvam today in a harsh critique of Ms Sasikala, who lived for three decades with former Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa or "Amma", as her closest companion.
