Chennai: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and AIADMK chief Jayalalithaa revoked the expulsion of close aide Sasikala on Saturday. Jayalalithaa had expelled Sasikala and her relatives from the party membership in December, 2011. Sasikala has, since then, been trying to mend ways with Jayalalithaa.
Sasikala had released a statement explaining her innocence and distanced herself from all her relatives who had conspired against Jayalalithaa. She traced her association with Jayalalithaa since 1984 and said that she had lived in the actor-turned-politician's Poes Garden residence since 1988.
"I wanted to reduce the work burden of Jayalalithaa. I did not have any hidden agenda except serving Jayalalithaa. She accepted me as her younger sister," Sasikala said.
According to Sasikala, it was only in December after Jayalalithaa cracked down on her family members she realized that her relatives and friends had misused the chief minister's status.
In December, Jayalalithaa sacked Sasikala and several others from the basic membership of the party without giving any reason. Jayalalithaa told party members not to have any contact with the lot.
Later, police started acting on complaints against the relatives of Sasikala. Her husband M Natarajan and some close relatives were arrested on several charges.
In a hearing of Jayalalithaa's disproportionate assets in a Bangalore court, Sasikala even broke and said Jaya was innocent.
This was not the first time that Jaya had distanced herself from Sasikala. After the 1996 poll debacle Jaya had distanced Shashi but that was a short break.
Sasikala has been a close confidante of Jaya over the past several years. She had been seen with Jaya at major events including election campaigns.
