Unease in AIADMK as Sasikala returns to Tamil Nadu

Hindustan Times  

There is unease in AIADMK as VK Sasikala returned to Chennai from Bengaluru after a 23-hour road-show early on Tuesday morning amid some party leaders saying that keeping her out could be detrimental for party prospects in forthcoming elections. Palaniswami on Tuesday said, “some people are plotting to split the AIADMK to help the evil force of the DMK” during his campaign at Vellore Tuesday night. “There is a possibility she may capture the party if it's wiped out in the elections but then the bigger question would be what is left of the party if it loses?” On Tuesday, Sasikala’s nephew TTV Dhinakaran reiterated that Sasikala would continue her legal battle to reclaim the AIADMK. However, political commentator, Sriram Seshadri, said, “It’s a no loss or gain polls for the BJP so they may choose to mediate between the factions or sit it out because they can strengthen themselves even if one of the kazhagams breaks down.” A lot has changed in the AIADMK since Sasikala surrendered at Bengaluru court on February 15 2017, convicted in the disproportionate assets case.
