Expect Sasikala to be convicted: Swamy on DA case
February 14, 2017
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Subramanian Swamy on Tuesday
expressed confidence that the Supreme Court would convict All India Anna
Dravida Munnetra Kazagham (AIADMK) general secretary V.K. Sasikala in
disproportionate assets case.
"This case got initiated after I
submitted the documents to the Supreme Court. We have argued about the
case in detail as we have fought at every level. I expect we would
emerge victorious. We have to see on which basis she will get
conviction. I know the case very well and expect that she will be
convicted," Swamy, who is the complainant in the case against Sasikala,
said.
The pending disproportionate assets case dates back to
1996. J. Jayalalithaa, Sasikala and her two relatives, Ilavarasi and
Sudhagaran, had been convicted in the case that alleged that the former
chief minister owned assets far exceeding her known sources of income.
After they were acquitted in 2015, an appeal was filed in the Supreme
Court.
If convicted, Sasikala will not be able to stand for elections for six years and hold public office
