BJP has no interest in Sasikala's conviction:  Naidu
New Delhi [India], Feb.14 (ANI): Union Information and Broadcasting Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu on Tuesday said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has no interest to interfere in the ongoing political tussle in Tamil Nadu, adding that Governor Ch. Vidyasagar Rao will act on his discretion. "The Centre has no role to play. The Governor will take decision based on situation. The BJP has no interest to interfere," Naidu told the media. Earlier in the day, AIADMK general secretary V.K. Sasikala Natarajan suffered a major jolt after the Supreme Court upheld the trial court's judgment convicting her in the 19-year-old disproportionate assets case against her. Former Tamil Nadu chief minister late J. Jayalalithaa, along with Sasikala and two others were involved in the case. The Bengaluru trial court had convicted Jayalalithaa on September 27, 2014 and ordered her four years of imprisonment along with Rs. 100 crore fines, with Rs. 10 crore fine on the other three. The conviction disqualified her as an MLA requiring her to step down as the chief minister. She, however, returned as the chief minister after Karnataka High Court on May 11, 2015 acquitted her and the others in the case. (ANI)

In an 'X' post, TMC said the government has "ek hi naara, line mein rahe desh bechara," pointing to past governmental measures including demonetisation, the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, the Special Identification Registration (SIR), and now the LPG shortage. The party described demonetisation as a "Tughlaqi farman" that forced ordinary citizens to wait in serpentine queues outside banks and ATMs for days to access their own money. The post also highlighted the 2020 COVID-19 oxygen crisis, when families stood in long lines outside hospitals and suppliers as the public health system collapsed.
