Edappadi Palaniswami (EPS) declared AIADMK general secretary: Now he feels like somebody

On February 14, 2017, a nondescript resort in Koovathur village in Kancheepuram district of Tamil Nadu was suddenly in the limelight. It was a little more than two months after J Jayalalithaa’s death, and her aide V K Sasikala was all set to take over as the AIADMK general secretary and chief minister. That was the day when the Supreme Court upheld a trial court verdict that convicted V K Sasikala in the disproportionate assets case.
