Outside the AIADMK (All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam) headquarters in Chennai on Wednesday, a live counter rang in everyone’s minds to keep track of how many MLAs had come out in support of VK Sasikala, the ruling party’s general secretary in-charge.
Jostling around to keep track, MLA KA Sengottaiyan yelled from the balcony, “131!” The public was still reeling from the late night rush thanks to a press conference held by Tamil Nadu’s chief minister O Panneerselvam, who hit out at Sasikala at Marina Beach on Tuesday night. The wave of dissent has hit hard.
Sasikala waved, her eyes glistening and her lips pursed while she looked on at all the party men jeering, “OPS down, long live Chinnamma” (Sasikala’s moniker, meaning ‘Little Amma’).
