Bharath Sampath, Software Engineer: “I am pretty happy with the judgement. She is the most hated person in TN now because of three reasons – Sasikala is the reason why Jayalalithaa got into the corruption case which led to her imprisonment, the reason for Jayalalithaa’s death and her desperation for position and wealth. O.Panneerselvam has the support of the people of TN, but he needs to win the majority. If not, anyone of Sasikala’s supporters could become the CM. Although it is a historical judgement, this case needn’t have been 21 years long.”

Sharanya Sarangarajan, Home Maker: “I’m extremely happy today. Sasikala had the audacity to take up the position of the General Secretary immediately after Jayalalithaa’s death. Isn’t it fishy? If Jayalalithaa was that close to her, how would she even have the heart to take up powerful positions so soon? What political qualification does she even have? She has been with Jayalalitha for so long, but was Sasikala ever offered an even position in the AIADMK Party? After Jayalalithaa’s demise, she had the guts to aim for the position of Chief Minister! People voted for Jayalalithaa and not her.”
