Chennai: Audio tapes have hit social media in the last few days, giving more than a hint of V K Sasikala’s efforts to regain control of the AIADMK.
The audio clips, which allegedly feature a conversation between Sasikala and an AIADMK member, have gone viral.
In one of the clips, Sasikala said she will ‘definitely return’ and ‘sort out’ the problems in the AIADMK once the coronavirus situation improves.
According to sources, Sasikala, a close aide of late AIADMK supremo and Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, is reconsidering plans to make a comeback considering the “difference between top AIADMK leaders Edappadi K Palaniswami and O Panneerselvam.”
Sasikala has reportedly made several calls to key leaders of her camp within the AIADMK in different districts in the last few days.
In the audio tapes of phone conversations, Sasikala could be heard telling AIADMK and AMMK cadres that she would take over the party and take it on the path laid by ‘thalaivar’ (M G Ramachandran) and ‘amma’ (J Jayalalithaa).
Cadres could be heard urging ‘chinnamma’ Sasikala to take charge and give the party new life.
