Ousted former AIADMK chief VK Sasikala's sudden announcement on Wednesday night - that she will "step aside from politics and public life" - is clearly 'Advantage AIADMK' and a setback to her nephew and Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (AMMK) leader TTV Dhinakaran. In a press release, Sasikala - often referred to as the closest aide of the late former Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa - did not refer to herself as AIADMK General Secretary, contrary to TTV Dhinkaran's claims. He has, in fact, said they (Sasikala and he) intend to contest her ousting legally.
