Labelling the current political situation in Tamil Nadu as a 'Black Phase' for the state, PMK leader and Lok Sabha member Dr Anbumani Ramadoss on Monday said Sasikala Natrajan has no administrative experience to hold the post of a Chief Minister.
The MP from Dharmapuri constituency, who suffered a mild heart attack two days ago, said, "The people are very upset of the happenings in Tamil Nadu, suddenly Panneerselvam submitted his resignation and Mrs. Sasikala Natrajan was made the CM"
Since the Supreme Court is likely to deliver its judgement in disproportionate assets case involving late former chief minister of Tamil Nadu J Jayalalithaa and Sasikala by next week, Ramadoss went on to say that if Sasikala is found to have an involvement in the case, Tamil Nadu will have another Chief Minister.
Further taking a jibe at the situation, he expressed concern over the fact that Tamil Nadu has already seen five chief ministers in last two years and said, "For the students appearing for quarterly examinations, the answer for the question, 'who is the chief minister of Tamil Nadu' was J. Jayalalithaa, by half yearly exam is became O. Panneerselvam and now it is Sasikala Natrajan".
"None of the public is accepting her, only 200 people in AIADMK are in Sasikala's support", he said
He added that it's against the policies of Jayalalithaa that she has been appointed as the chief Minister.
He said that it is time that DMK and AIADMK are shown the door and others get an opportunity to serve the state.
A day after Tamil Nadu Chief Minister O Panneerselvam tendered his resignation, Sasikala Natarajan is now all set to take over the top post. Governor Vidyasagar Rao, accepting Panneerselvam's resignation, asked him and his Council of Ministers to continue functioning until alternative arrangements were made.
