Chennai: All eyes are focused on the big verdict expected today- the 18-year-old corruption case against Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalitha. It is a case that could put her political future in jeopardy ahead of the 2016 Tamil Nadu Assembly polls.
What’s the verdict going to be? As the state waits with bated breath for the 66-crore DA case verdict by the Bangalore special court today, there is an eerie calm at the Tamil Nadu secretariat.
TN CM J Jayalalithaa, her aide Sasikala are accused in the case that has been going on for the past 18 years. Walk into any of the office rooms at the TN secretariat at Fort St.
George and the discussions in hushed tones are the same — the possibilities of CM returning to work as usual on Monday or whether the state administration will be remote-controlled from elsewhere.
