Top 10 developments in Tamil Nadu on February 15
All the action on the day AIADMK General Secretary VK Sasikala heads to Karnataka to surrender before a court and serve her sentence after she was convicted by the Supreme Court on Monday
- AIADMK chief VK Sasikala has left Chennai for Karnataka to surrender before a court near Hosur.
- The News Minute reports that security has been heightened in Bengaluru, ahead of Sasikala's surrender.
- ANI News reports that riot police have been deployed outside Golden Bay Resort in Kuvathur where AIADMK MLAs are lodged.
- The Hindu reports that police are getting independent statements from the MLAs on why they are at the resort.
- Sasikala and legislature party leader Edappadi K Palanisamy booked by police for alleged detention of AIADMK legislators at resort near Chennai on complaint from a rival camp MLA Saravanan.
- Sasikala visited the memorial of late Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa and the Ramapuram residence of party founder MG Ramachandran before leaving for Karnataka.
- The Supreme Court refused to entertain Sasikala’s plea, seeking more time to surrender to undergo jail term in the disproportionate assets case. "We do not intend to pass any order on this. We are not going to change anything in the judgement," a bench headed by Justice PC Ghose said.
- The court hall where Sasikala is to surrender today has been shifted to the central jail at Parappana Agrahara due to security reasons. The Karnataka High Court Registrar accepted a request by Bengaluru City Police to shift the court hall in the city citing security and other considerations, official sources said. The Parappana Agrahara jail is located close to Hosur, the entry point on Tamil Nadu-Karnataka border.
- Sasikala loyalist KA Sengottaiyan says he is hopeful Edappadi K Palanisamy will be invited by Governor C Vidyasagar Rao to form the government. AIADMK members are united, says Sengottaiyan.
- Sasikala reinducted her close relatives TTV Dinakaran and S Venkatesh into the party, five years after their expulsion by J Jayalalithaa. Sasikala announced that Dinakaran, her nephew and a former Rajya Sabha member was being appointed as the party's Deputy General Secretary.
