Madurai: V K Sasikala, late J Jayalalithaa’s confidante would return to Tamil Nadu on February 7 from Bengaluru, Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam general secretary, T T V Dhinakaran said here on Wednesday.
‘Chemical’ changes were on in Tamil Nadu, ahead of her arrival, he said, apparently referring to actions like expulsion of five AIADMK workers for pasting wall posters in her support. Sasikala was in the Parappana Agrahara Prison in the Karnataka capital from February 15, 2017 and she was set free on January 27 by authorities after completion of her four year prison term in a corruption case. She was discharged from a hospital after recovery fro COVID-19 and she is now taking rest in a resort in Bengaluru as per doctor’s advise. A grand welcome awaited her right from Tamil Nadu’s border near Hosur, he told reporters and appealed to cadres to ensure that the reception being planned by the party cadres does not cause traffic congestion on the Bengaluru-Chennai highway.
