Tamil Nadu politics has changed with the income tax raids on VK Sasikala and her nephew TTV Dinakaran. The Centre's decision to raid 142 places with the search party comprising 30 women officers totalling to 1245 senior and junior level income tax officials has changed the discourse of Tamil Nadu politics. Called Operation Elephant, the raids went on for over seven days. It is considered as the third major strike in the history of the income tax department against individuals. Politically speaking, the ripple effect of this raid will be felt by the AIADMK faction for at least three or four months. The rough estimate of the income tax assessment is that during the raid unaccounted wealth worth Rs 30,000 crore in 250 bank accounts have been revealed.
