Telangana's Waterfall: A Serene Escape Into Nature's Marvels
Who will step into Jayalalithaa's shoes: A friend or family?
While Sasikala has not officially announced her decision on whether she would lead the party or not,Deepa has stated that she will fight for her position in the party as well as Jaya's property
The fight for Jayalalithaa's legacy is getting bitter in Tamil Nadu. On one hand the AIADMK is pushing Sasikala to lead the party and on the other, Jayalalithaa's niece, Deepa Jayakumar is hell bent upon fighting for her late aunt's legacy.
Sasikala's association with Jayalalithaa has been a long standing one. The AIADMK cadres addressing her as 'Chinnamma' clearly indicates their intent is to make her the next leader after 'Amma'. The cadres believe that she has been exposed the most to Jayalalithaa's administrative qualities. Whereas, Deepa's striking resemblance to her aunt Jayalalithaa hasn't gone unnoticed. A journalist, Deepa hasn't shied away from claiming that she will lead the party if that is asked of her. While the party wants Sasikala to lead them in the path of Amma, there have been many cadres who have asked Deepa to take Jayalalithaa's place.
