VK Sasikala Convicted, Can't Be Chief Minister. What Next For Tamil Nadu?
Though the Supreme Court has convicted AIADMK chief VK Sasikala of corruption and given her a 4-year jail term, the game of thrones in Tamil Nadu is far from over. There is now an internal conflict in the party. Ms Sasikala, who is likely to surrender tomorrow in Bengaluru, has chosen her loyalist E Palanisamy as head of AIADMK legislature party and has expelled Mr Panneerselvam. Is Tamil Nadu headed for instability? Is President's Rule a possibility?
