Sasikala is back in Tamil Nadu and its politics as the state is going to witness assembly elections a couple of months down the line. Chinnamma returned to Tamil Nadu on Monday to a grand reception by supporters and a nervy reaction from the ruling AIADMK, a party she controlled as former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa’s aide. Will she be able to make a new mark? Does Chinnamma eyes at Amma's legacy? What will be Chinnamma's next move?

The AIADMK suffered a split with Panneerselvam, now deputy chief minister, and chief minister Palaniswami heading two factions, but they later merged the groups and the general council of the combined party expelled Sasikala in September, 2017 along with Dhinakaran and others. Asked if his aunt would 'summon' the General Council of the AIADMK now, Dhinakaran said only she can answer that.
