SSB Awareness Series: Turmoil in Tamil Nadu

It has been just more than 2 months after the death of Amma “Jayalalitha” , there is a lot of political turmoil in Tamil Nadu. The debate around jallikattu gained ground following statewide protests in Tamil Nadu against the Supreme Court-imposed ban on the bull-taming sport. The agitations forced the Tamil Nadu government to pass an ordinance lifting the ban and allowing the practice. The event ended with seven people being killed across the state.

Now at present scenario Sasikala Natarajan and O Paneerselvam were not enough that the third candidate is in line Mr. E Palanisamy for CM candidate. It was not a good valentine for Sasikala at all this year as The Supreme Court has sentenced Ms Sasikala to jail for four years; the verdict also bars her from running for public office for 10 years, pulling the plug on her plans to become Chief Minister. Tamil Nadu was all set to get a woman chief minister for the third time with Sasikala being elected as the AIADMK's legislative party leader. But her criminal cases and infamous “Manarguddi family” let her down. Also The opposition Bharatiya janata Party Member of Parliament Subramanian Swamy for the first time referred to Sasikala's family as the 'Mannargudi mafia', and now the name is on the minds and tongues of most in Tamil Nadu. Let’s look at the cases against her that has changed the history of Tamil Nadu:

·         The FERA CASE: The latest order of the Madras high court striking down her discharge in a Foreign Exchange Regulation Act case now forces Sasikala to face trial. She has been arrested in 1996 for violating the act.
·         Disproportionate assets: Her alleged partner in crime, former Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa may have passed on, but the ghost of disproportionate assets case continues to haunt Sasikala. An appeal by the Karnataka government against their acquittal by the state's high court is now pending in the Apex court.
·         Sasikala’s husband Natarajan was ousted from the Poes Garden residence by Jayalalithaa in 1990, while Sasikala continued to live there. Now, with Jayalalithaa gone, he is slowing making his presence felt in the political circles. In February 2012, Natarajan was arrested for a land-grabbing case. He was accused of grabbing 20 acres of agricultural land in a village in Thanjavur.
·         Sasikala’s brother Divaharan was accused of demolishing the house of a DMK supporter in Tiruvarur in 2012 and was arrested. He is also an accused in illegal sand quarrying cases.


On the other hand Paneerselvum came up with which dream that Amma (Jayalalitha) came into his dream and told him he will be the next CM and don’t let the chair be a property of family. The dream is becoming truth as of now. But we don’t know this but he has been the CM of Tamil Nadu in the past and the most trustable person of Jayalalitha.

·         He was sworn in as the 13th Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu in September 2001 when the Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa was barred from holding office by the Supreme Court of India. During his stint as Chief Minister, he was widely criticised for allegedly heading a puppet government managed by Jayalalithaa.
·         Second term as Chief Minister, 2014-2015. He was again entrusted with the responsibility of being Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu on 29 September 2014 when Jayalalitha was convicted in the disproportionate assets case.
·         On 6 December 2016, Panneerselvam was elected as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu following the death of incumbent Chief Minister Jayalalithaa. On December 10 he held his first cabinet meeting as a full-term Chief Minister. He tended his resignation as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu on 6th February, 2017 to the governor, who accepted and appointed him as the caretaker Chief Minister of the state to avoid a leadership vaccum, until further measures could be taken.



Now the road is clear for Paneerselvum as Sasikala is going to jail but she introduced her loyal person E Palanisamy. Now the governor Vidyasagar Rao must take the responsibility in hand and should end these crisis ones for all. This will give stability to Tamil Nadu and its people.
