According to Ramadoss, if the Tamil Nadu government is firm on banning online gambling, then it need not wait till October/November when the Assembly will be in session. He said the online gambling will result in immeasurable damages to the society if the state government waits for another five/six months. The Tamil Nadu government should draft a law as suggested by the Madras High Court and promulgate it as an ordinance, Ramadoss said. The Madras High Court had struck down the law brought in by the erstwhile <keyword id="41902" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="aiadmk" source="Orion">AIADMK</keyword> government banning online gaming.

Election 2019:AIADMK Candidate list for TamilNadu

Jayalalithaa’s confidant VK <keyword id="6358664" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Sasikala">Sasikala</keyword> has been unanimously elected as her successor and will take over as General Secretary of the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK). 
 
Sasikala, a close friend and confidant of Jayalalithaa, was chosen to head the party. 
 
Reportedly, the General Council body of AIADMK passed the resolution to elect Sasikala Natarajan as the General Secretary almost unanimously. However there were few dissent notes as well. The post fell vacant following the demise of party general secretary and Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa on December 5. 
 
The meeting was attended by over 2000 party workers, but Sasikala wasn’t present there. 
 
Yesterday, clashes broke out between AIADMK workers and supporters of Rajya Sabha member Sasikala Pushpa outside the ruling party's office in Chennai. 
 
Sasikala Pushpa had earlier expressed her wish to contest for the party's general secretary post. Sasikala was expelled from the AIADMK sometime back but did not resign from the Rajya Sabha.

Sasikala is the new general secretary of AIADMK

The BJP contested in 20 seats in the Assembly election held on April 6 and is leading in four perhaps due to its Vetri Vel Yatra and other actions, say political commentators. The Vetri Vel Yatra was taken by state BJP chief L. Murugan demanding action against the YouTube channel Karuppar Koottam for its obscene video about Tamil God Murugan and the prayer Kanda Shasti Kavacham sung in his praise.

Tamil Nadu polls: DMK leads in 38 seats while AIADMK leads in 35 constituencies

Puducherry, June 20 () The opposition AIADMK on Saturday urged Puducherry Lieutenant Governor Kiran Bedi to immediately order a probe by the CBI into the violation of Excise rules allegedly by private liquor-bottling units here. Leader of the legislature wing of the party A Anbalagan told reporters that a memorandum seeking the inquiry has been submitted to the Lieutenant Governor. He alleged some private distilleries were using fake holograms and evading excise duty. "The territorial government has lost revenue by such malpractices," he said. Fixing of holograms on the cap of the liquor bottles has been done since 2006 in the wake of a special provision in the Excise Rules. COR NVG NVG

The Times Now-VMR exit poll forecasts that the AIADMK and the BJP alliance in the state will get only 9 seats which is down from the 37 seats won by the AIADMK in 2014. The Lok Sabha elections 2019 is the first time the two major parties in the state of Tamil Nadu namely DMK (Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam) and AIADMK (All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam) go for Lok Sabha polls without their iconic leaders Karunanidhi and Jayalalitha. In 2014 elections, the AIADMK scored 37 out of 39 Lok Sabha seats. The overwhelming performance of the party was a talk of the country since the party emerged as one of the largest parties in the Lok Sabha in opposition. The national party of Congress had secured only 44 seats in total all over the nation, which was just 7 seats more than those scored by the AIADMK, which contested only from Tamil Nadu Lok Sabha constituencies. In 2009 Lok Sabha elections, the AIADMK has scored 9 parliamentary seats from the state. Before the party got a thumping victory in 2014 Lok Sabha elections, it showed a poor performance over the Lok Sabha elections 1999, 2004 and 2009. The AIADMK split into two after the demise of its heroic leader Jayalalithaa. In 2019, the party is contesting the Lok Sabha elections in alliance with the national party BJP, and other regional parties like PMK and DMDK. After a series of twists and turns in the history of AIADMK in Tamil Nadu after the death of Jayalalitha, K Palaniswami of the party was elected as the general secretary and hence became the CM. The main opponent for the party in Tamil Nadu is DMK. The other two parties in the fray in Lok Sabha elections 2019 are AMMK of TTV Dhinkaran and MNM of Kamal Haasan.

However, he may be asked to prove majority on the floor of the house in a week, thereby ruling out the possibility of a composite floor test. 
 
According to a Raj Bhavan source, after meeting Palaniswami and caretaker chief minister <a href="http://businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=O+Panneerselvam&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">O Panneerselvam</a>, the governor accepted the claim of Palaniswami on the basis of number. 
 
"Palaniswami submitted a list of 124 legislators, while Panneerselvam claimed that he has the support of eight legislators. The governor now has no option but to invite Palaniswami to form the government," the source told TOI. 
 
The source also said that the governor examined all aspects, including reports that a section of legislators have been kidnapped and lodged in a resort, before concluding that Palaniswami has the support of the requisite number of legislators.

Sasikala's proxy may be sworn in as CM

<a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=sasikala&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">VK Sasikala</a>, who suddenly emerged as a heir to deceased <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=AIADMK&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">AIADMK</a> supremo <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=J+Jayalalithaa&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">J </a><a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=J+Jayalalithaa&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Jayalalithaa</a>'s legacy, has a verdict against herself and it seems that this might end the political uncertainty in the state with the road now clear for O <keyword id="291784" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Panneerselvam">Panneerselvam</keyword> to become the chief minister. 
 
But it’s not going to be <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Panneerselvam&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Panneerselvam</a> as <keyword id="6358664" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Sasikala">Sasikala</keyword> cannot be written off entirely and her sentence would end in just four years. After that she can come back to haunt the party. 
 
There are many reasons why the SC verdict may not be the end of Sasikala: 
 
Sasikala will continue to have friends within the party even when she is in jail and OPS is the CM as she staged a putsch against Panneerselvam to replace him as Jayalalitha's political heir. 
 Rebels will keep rocking <keyword id="41902" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="AIADMK">AIADMK</keyword> as OPS can never have <keyword id="42104" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Jayalalithaa">Jayalalithaa</keyword>'s mass appeal and the kind of control she had over the party. Sasikala will use this and can become the rallying point for these rebels. 
 
Once out of the jail in four year, Sasikala will do everything to split the party. 
 
This SC verdict may not be all bad for Sasikala as if Panneerselvam were able to lure majority party MLAs, it would have proved that party had no faith in Sasikala. The masses too would have accepted that but now the message that would go to the masses is-Sasikala has been stopped from heading the state by a court order but not due to lack of support in the party. Therefore, when she is back, she can still have popular support. 
 
Sasikala has once proved to the people that she is Jayalalithaa's legitimate successor. And once these four years are over and she is out of jail, the situation in the state might be very conducive for her power play. OPS cannot have the mass support Jayalalithaa had so the party's base will only erode from now on. All this will help Sasikala project herself as the next mass leader.

Sasikala’s CM dreams might have ended but don’t write her off. Here’s why

She has been disqualified to contest elections for 10 years. Sasikala had served close to six months in jail earlier.
