March 03, 2021 22:04

In a statement, VK Sasikala has announced that she was quitting public life.

The confidante of former Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa also asked the AIADMK cadre to stand united and ensure that the DMK is defeated in the forthcoming assembly elections.

This is the text of her letter in Tamil:

'As per the thinking of my elder sister Puratchi Selvi Jayalalithaa who I forever pray to, she had said that the golden rule of Puratchi Thalaivar MGR and hers must continue in Tamil Nadu for more than a hundred years, for which the children of one mother, Amma's true followers, must together fight the coming elections with unity.

'Amma's followers must remember that she had pinpointed the common enemy DMK as evil and be smart enough to prevent it from coming from power and work to establish Amma's golden rule.

'Those of Amma's true followers who cared for me and showed affection, and to those with good thoughts, my heart-felt thanks.

'Just as I was Amma's sister to implement her thoughts when she was alive, I am the same after her demise.

'I have never craved power, position or authority. I will always be grateful to Puratchi Thalaivi's dear followers and the Tamil people.

'I am leaving politics and will forever pray to god and my elder sister Puratchi Thalaivi that Amma's golden rule is formed once again.'
