New Delhi: The news of Sasikala Natarajan's election to the AIADMK legislature party, which will enable her to take over as the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, has received mixed reactions. While her opposition DMK has vociferously protested against the idea, social media witnessed both support and opposition. Chinnamma (mother's little sister) as Ms Natarajan is known to her supporters, had taken charge of the party last month after the death of Jayalalithaa. She had promised to follow in the footsteps of Jayalalithaa, who, in her lifetime, had occupied both posts.
At the party meeting today, Chief Minister O Panneerselvam proposed her name for the Legislature party chief and after her election, announced his resignation.
Within minutes, Twitter was flooded with reactions and speculations:
