VK Sasikala, close aide of former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, is heard in an audio clip that was ‘leaked’ on Tuesday, 15 June, as saying that she would have made AIADMK coordinator O Panneerselvam Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu if he had not opted to stage a ‘dharma yudham’ in February 2017.
In the audio clip, the former AIADMK General Secretary is allegedly talking to an AIADMK member and is heard saying that she cannot be a mute spectator anymore since party members are complaining about the functioning of the party and are requesting her to come back to politics.
