AIADMK general secretary V K Sasikala, who has been patiently waiting for an invitation from Tamil Nadu Governor Ch Vidyasagar Rao to her to form the government, told MLAs staying in a resort at Koovathur near Mahabalipuram that she did not have any political ambition, said Gudiyattam MLA Jayanthi Padmanaban.

"I (Sasikala) decided to stay with Amma (late chief minister J Jayalalithaa) and live for her at the age of 29 and left my husband and family members. Now, I am 62-years-old and I don't have any political ambition. I want to the movement (AIADMK) that is the third biggest party in the country to flourish. It was nurtured by Amma and I don't want to see the movement to fade away in my life time," Jayanthi said quoting Sasikala.

"I am a lawyer by profession and no one can hold be captive against my will," said the MLA and added that she had been staying with other party MLAs in the resort at their own will.

"We want the party to continue the legacy of Amma (Jayalalithaa). We decided to take a unanimous call and are waiting for Governor's response," said the MLA.
