In an unexpected turn of events, VK Sasikala, the sacked AIADMK chief who had been released from jail in January and had been talked about to be planning to turn the head of Tamil Nadu's ruling party AIADMK has announced quitting politics.

This announcement from Sasikala about quitting politics has come with just weeks left for the Assembly elections and she has announced that she's quitting politics and public life. It must be noted that Sasikala was released from Jail in January and had recovered from corona as well.

In a printed letter dated March 3, Sasikala has written "I have never been after power or position even when Jaya (the late former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa) was alive. I Won't do that after she is dead. I am quitting politics but I pray that her party wins, and her legacy goes on."
