Chennai, Dec 15 (IBNS): Speculations turned true with the AIADMK choosing Sasikala Natarajan, the close aide of the deceased former chief minister of Tamil Nadu, J Jayalalithaa, as the party chief, media reported on Thursday.

AIADMK spokesperson C Ponnaiyan said on Thursday that rules will be amended if needed to place her in control, adding, "It is the desire of the entire party,"  reported NDTV.
