The drama of Tamil Nadu's politics that was triggered by O. Paneersellevam when he went against Shasikala popularly known as Chinamma has now taken a new turn.
The battle for the Cheif Minister's position in Tamil Nadu takes a dramatic turn when the SC judgement makes Shasikala and other as guilty over a case of that was born during the first term of Amma's CM tenure.
Jaylalita the late Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu was found guilty of having disproportionate wealth as high as 66 crores during his 1st term as the Chief Minister of TamilNadu ie. during 1991 - 1996.
FIR against them was lodged by Subramanyam Swami. The special court on 27th September 2014 convicted four accused ( Jaylalita and Shasika being two of them ) and sentenced them 4 years of simple imprisonment. Jaylalita was serving as the CM of Tamil Nadu at the time of this decision but she resigned as the court sentenced her imprisonment. O. Paneersellevam was appointed as the CM of Tamil Nadu at that time.
However, the Karnataka High Court overturned the decision. The case was transferred to Karnataka High Court to avoid any undue advantage of popularity to Amma. Jaylalita returned to the power in May 2015. But today ( Feb 14, 2017) Supreme Court gave his final decision on this matter and again sentenced four years of simple imprisonment to all four accused.
But this decision of Supreme Court came when the Political Drama in Tamil Nadu was at its peak. This decision has put an end to Shasikala's political ambitions. After the imprisonment, Shasikala can not fight election for 6 years, which means she has to stay away from politics for 10 years.
On the other hand, the same decision may help Paneersellevam who claimed that Amma wanted him to be the next CM of Tamil Nadu. Some news reports are claiming that many MLA s who were supporting Shasikala have now taken Pannersellevem side after the SC judgement. Governor will ask to prove the majority in the assembly and present situation says that Paneersellevam will get some advantages. However, nothing can be said about the future, but one thing is clear whatever the result may be it will come after high tension drama.
