Jayalalithaa calls legislators' meeting amid speculations
The party announced on Friday that Jayalalithaa will meet all legislators on May 22 . She is likely to be elected leader of the legislature party.
The Karnataka High Court cancelled Jayalalithaa's conviction by a trial court and four-year jail sentence saying that she had been incorrectly charged and unaccounted wealth was about 8 per cent of her income, which was "within the permissible limit of 10 per cent".
Tamil Nadu witnessed delirious celebrations by her supporters following the court verdict.
O Panneerselvam, who succeeded Jayalalithaa as chief minister following her conviction in September last year, is believed to be prepared to quit in her favour.
