AIADMK general secretary Sasikala, whose chief ministerial ambitions were crushed after she was convicted in the disproportionate assets case, who is now lodged in a prison in Bengaluru is hoping to get better facilities in view of her age and poor health.

Chinamma is fine, though weak. Her sugar level and blood pressure are normal. She is adjusting to the prison life. She has applied for better facilities. We hope she gets them," said V Pugazhendi, secretary of the AIADMK's Karnataka unit.

"We are hoping the authorities will consider her request for better amenities like a cot, mattress, table fan and attached bathroom so that she can take care of her health till she gets transferred to the Central Jail in Chennai," she added. Sasikala's similar requests of home cooked food and mineral water were denied by authorities.

Presently, she is serving the remainder of her sentence alongwith her sister-in-law Elavarasi and her nephew VK Sudhakaran. However, the sentence could be extended should she fail to pay her hefty Rs 10 crore fine.
