By: Tupaki Desk | 28 Sep 2014 12:13 PM GMTIn a meeting of AIADMK MLAs held Today evening, Finance Minister O Panneerselvam has been chosen to replace Jayalalithaa as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.
Jayalalithaa's 4 years jail term in Rs 66.65 crore disproportionate assets case has forced AIADMK Leaders to select their new leader to handle the crisis. AIADMK Ministers and MLAs have been in Bangalore the other day as crucial verdict is being pronounced. All of them have asked to return to Chennai by 4 PM Today to be present for the meeting.
It may be recalled that O Panneerselvam served as Chief Minister for a brief period a decade ago and that when Jayalalithaa was jailed in connection with another illegal assets case. Panneerselvam is known to be Jaya's loyalist and hence he bagged the CM post for the second time.
