In her effort to reclaim the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) which expelled her, VK Sasikala a close aide of former chief minister J Jayalalithaa, will look for legal recourse challenging the election commission’s (EC) 2017 order allotting the party name and the iconic two leaves symbol to the present AIADMK government. “We will file a curative petition soon,” said her lawyer Raja Senthoor Pandian. “We haven’t filed a case so far due to the pandemic and we had expected her to be released by August on remission. So we thought of filing it once she is out. We have to discuss.”
