Sasikala meets Panneerselvam to express condolences on his wife’s demise

Chennai: AIADMK former interim general secretary V.K. Sasikala, who was later expelled from the party, met the party coordinator and former Chief Minister, O. Panneerselvam (OPS) to express condolences over the passing away of his wife.

Panneerselvam’s wife, P. Jayalakshmi passed away on Wednesday morning at a private hospital in Chennai where she was admitted following heart-related ailments.

Sasikala and Panneerselvam were at loggerheads ever since she claimed the Chief Minister’s post by replacing him. Panneerselvam initiated a ‘Dharma Yudha’ against Sasikala by sitting in front of the memorial of late Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa.

The former interim general secretary spent more than 20 minutes at the residence of Panneerselvam and consoled him by even holding his hands.

It may be noted that after Sasikala was released from Bangaluru central prison, she had reached Tamil Nadu with a large convoy of vehicles and was planning to capture the AIADMK. However, stiff opposition was raised by both O. Panneerselvam and K. Palaniswami, and Sasikala had to announce that she was quitting politics.
