Is it an end of V.K Sasikala’s Political career?

Will panneerselvam Be the Next CM of Tamil Nadu?

V.K Sasikala

As per Supreme Court, Sasikala cannot contest elections for the next 10 years. This is because she was sentenced to four years’ imprisonment by Supreme Court, and stands disqualified from membership of the TN Assembly for a further six years.

The Disproportionate Assets case was registered in 1997 against Jayalalithaa after her term as Chief Minister from 1991 to 1996. The charges were regarding a disproportionate jump in her wealth from Rs 2.01 crore in 1991, to Rs 66.65 crore in 1996.

The chargesheet filed under the Prevention of Corruption Act said that the accused in the case, Jayalalithaa, her aide Sasikala, Sasikala’s nephew and Jayalalithaa’s foster son Sudhakaran and Sasikala’s sister-in-law Ilavarasi, had opened over 32 shell companies, some in benami names. Sasikala, Ilaivarasai and Sudhakaran were made directors in many of these companies.

As per report several crore rupees were deposited through cheques, DD and sometimes Direct Credit to these companies and was later transferred to accounts of Namadu MGR (a publication run by AIADMK) and a cable company called Super Duper.

Paneerselvam’s will get benefited by Supreme Court decision to punish Sasikala.
