But VK Sasikala said that it was an injustice to her and that she would take legal action after discussing the matter with her counsel N Raja Senthoor Pandian.
What did VK Sasikala’s counsel say in the argument?
Mr Pandian said that he apprised the Chief Electoral Officer Satyabrata Sahoo of the matter.

Is there a conspiracy in this matter?
VK Sasikala has just come out of prison after completing her sentence in a disproportionate assets case in which J Jayalalitha was also a party. After her release, VK Sasikala she would stay away from politics.
