Chennai: Ruling AIADMK General Secretary VK Sasikala's husband M Natarajan was on Sunday hospitalised at a Chennai hospital after he complained of breathing problem, a party source said
Natarajan was admitted to a corporate hospital after he complained of breathing trouble, party sources told media.
However, they refused to divulge any further information.
Natarajan's health complications come on a day of significant developments as Sasikala was elevated one big step closer to becoming Tamil Nadu’s Chief Minister, thus replacing O Paneerselvam from the post.
The 62-year-old general secretary, who was a close aide of former chief minister J Jayalalithaa, was named AIADMK party legislature leader after the crucial party meet that took place in Chennai's Poes Garden on Sunday afternoon.
Soon after the meet, O Panneerselvam, the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, tendered his resignation from the post, citing 'personal reasons'.
Speculations are rife that Sasikala will take the oath on anywhere between February 6 and 9, thus becoming the third female Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu after Janaki Ramachandran and Jayalalithaa.
