AIADMK general secretary V.K. Sasikala, who was elected leader of the Legislature Party on Sunday, said that she would fulfil the dreams of Jayalalithaa.
Reading out her acceptance speech at the MLAs’ meeting, she said, “I am under compulsion to fulfil the dreams of our Amma that the party should work for the welfare of the people even after a thousand years and to accept the demands of her [Amma’s] children.”
Ms. Sasikala said, “Even now, since all of you urged that the party’s general secretary and the Chief Minister should be one and the same, I am accepting your request.”
‘Path of Jaya’
She thanked the MLAs and other party workers for having smashed the dreams of political rivals, who hoped to see cracks in the walls of the golden fort of the party.
Ms. Sasikala said the government would follow the path laid out by Jayalalithaa.
