Sasikala believes that ADMK would face a drastic defeat in the Tamil Nadu assembly polls and she thinks that the party would come under her after the current leaders lose their strongholds in the election.
The development has sparked fresh controversy and several AMMK leaders had slammed the ADMK leaders for intentionally removing Sasikala's name from the voters' list.
Edappadi Palaniswami's advice to Panneerselvam had shown how the former is worried if Sasikala comes back to the party, which will cause an internal drift and will take over the leadership.
Thevar community is one of the major voter bases for ADMK and it's pivotal for the party to emerge strongly in some of the areas in Southern Tamil Nadu.
Sasikala announced her decision on Wednesday and said that she has decided to stay off from active politics with the view of establishing Jayalalithaa's golden rule in Tamil Nadu.
Sasikala had on Wednesday announced that she is quitting politics and said that her decision was with the view of forming a golden rule of Jayalalithaa in the state.
However, Sasikala has now said she completely quits politics and asserted that she will keep praying to God that Jayalalithaa's government will be formed.
