The Supreme Court Judgement in disproportionate assets case curtailed the ambition of VK Sashikala to become the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu and she went Paraparan Agrahara Prison. At that time she made EK. Palani Swamy as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu before she leaves to Bengaluru. Later, the AIADMK political developments, both EPS and OPS came to one fold with the blessings of the Central government in 2017.
They expelled VK. Sashikala from the party and removed her as the party’s Secretary General. Now Sashikala is a prominent politician in the Tamil Nadu politics. She is having access with the AIADMK leaders and cadre in a large scale. Her nephew TTD Dinakaran, who is Jaya Nagar’s MLA formed a political party in the name of “Amma Makkal Katchi”.
Sashikala is the president of that “Amma Makkal Katchi” party. Sashikala’s entry is a big setback in Tamil political parties DMK and AIADMK.
