OPS! Sasikala, you were not Amma

Hail the lord and hail the Supreme court of this great land that justice has finally been delivered in the Jayalalitha disproportionate assets case.
Had Jailalitha been alive, she could have faced the similar fate, humiliation which her best friend, V. Sashikala is facing. Seems like Sashikala is facing her karma. 
However one might be popular; law needs to catch the wrongdoers someday, somewhere. And it did.
The common people see the silverlining in this justice that thieves are after all thieves and they need to be caught. 
Sashikala was about to become the chief minister of Tamilnadu, had governor not delayed that process, had system not forewarned about the impending justice in this case.
Powerful leaders tend to forget one thing that they can  buy police, they can  surpass judicial porocess, they can escape penalty, at will. And the do. This is true to a great extent that powerful people do use system for their benefit.
Tamilnadu politics was corrupted by filmdom beyond redemption; filmstars turned politicians were idolised for their larger than life imagery consciously created over the years. Like MGR, Jailalithaa grew in stardom and stature; where others leaders appeared like minions in front of them. Jailalithaa deftly managed stardom  and the same time she was, unquestionably, worshiped by her people.
Sashikala supported group might be able to form the government; but what is relevant today is; will AIADMK remain one? Will the dravidian party remain intact? or its the end of the era for AIADMK?
The larger question is after Sashikala was handed over four-year sentence; will her party remain alligned with her?
Will Sashikala get the support from her chosen leader Edapadi K Palanisamy like Jaya got from her stand-in CM Paneerselvam all the time. V.K. Sashikala is not Jayalalitha but don't ignore the poblic sentiment.
Political situation is volatile in Tamilnadu and it needs to settle down soon.
