Chennai : AIADMK General Secretary and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalitha has revoked the suspension of erstwhile close confidante Sasikala from the primary membership of the party.

In a statement issued in Chennai today, Jayalalithaa said she accepted the explanation given by Sasikala that she had severed links with her relatives, who by their activities had brought disrepute to the party.

However, Jayalalithaa said the suspension of Sasikala’s husband, M Natrajan, and some of her relatives from the party would stay and urged party functionaries not to keep links with them.

Meanwhile, Jayalalithaa has urged the Prime Minister to allot the entire power generated from the Kudankulam nuclear power plant to the state.

In a letter to Dr Manmohan Singh, she said of the 2000 MW of power to be generated by the two units in Kudankulam, the state has been allotted only 925 MW. The CM said the demand was justifiable as the state is facing severe power crisis.

Pointing that the state had requested for allocation of 1000 MW from the central pool, Jayalalithaa said only 100 MW had been allotted to the state.

The Chief Minister urged the Prime Minister to positively consider the request and said the state requires and deserves the entire power generated by the Kudankulam plant.
