With just a month to go for Assembly polls in Tamil Nadu, J Jayalalithaas close aide VK Sasikala, who was released from a Bengaluru prison on January 27, issued a statement Wednesday that she has decided to step aside from politics and that she will pray for Ammas (Jayalalithaas) golden rule.
A two-page letter, signed by her, and released first on Jaya TV, appealed to Ammas followers to work hard to ensure her rule. As Amma used to say, defeating the evil force DMK should be the main aim of all obedient cadre of Ammas party, Sasikala wrote, thanking all who showered her with love.
While Sasikalas surprise and sudden decision is expected to help the ruling AIADMK and avoid splitting of votes, it comes as a jolt to her nephew TTV Dhinakaran, who was ousted from AIADMK along with her in 2017. After defeating the AIADMK and DMK candidates in the high-decibel RK Nagar Jayalalithaas constituency bypoll in December 2017, he launched his own party, Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (AMMK), in March 2018. The party garnered a vote share of more than 4 per cent in the Lok Sabha polls in 2019.
Minutes after her statement, Dhinakaran told media persons he was not in agreement with her on the decision. I tried to speak to her, convince her I told her this is unnecessary now, and requested her to remain in politics. I delayed the release of her statement for about 30 minutes. But I cannot stop her from taking her personal decision, isnt it? he said.
Just a day before, Dhinakaran had said that AMMK, which he founded and ran all alone when Sasikala was in prison, would be leading a third front in the elections. On Wednesday, he said the party was in talks with other important parties and that candidates would be announced on March 10. But Sasikalas sudden decision will present a fresh challenge to Dhinakaran as the AIADMK-BJP alliance gets an opportunity to highlight this and rally the AIADMK cadre and avoid a split in votes.
