Some analysts say it is a bid to resurrect her political career. She however is on record downplaying the same.
VK Sasikala, who announced in March that she will "stay away from politics and public life", will pay floral tributes at the memorials of former chief ministers CN Annadurai, MG Ramachandran and J Jayalalithaa in Marina today in a public spectacle, a day ahead of the golden jubilee celebration of the founding of the AIADMK party.
Some analysts say it is a bid to resurrect her political career. She however is on record downplaying the same.
"I have never been after power or position even when Jaya was alive. Won't do that after she is dead. I am staying away from politics to ensure continuation of AIADMK's 'golden rule' in Tamil Nadu," Ms Sasikala said in a letter earlier this year ahead of Tamil Nadu state polls.
Ms Sasikala's retreat from politics was seen as an attempt to insulate herself from potential criticism that she helped the DMK capture power if election results turned favourable for the opposition.
