In an exclusive interview to India Today's Karan Thapar, P Chidambaram spoke about the recent political developments in his home state of Tamil Nadu. Expressing 'sadness' at VK Sasikala's elevation as the legislative leader of the AIADMK, Chidambaram said the party should "behave responsibly". Predicting dark days ahead for the state, the former Finance Minister said AIADMK and Tamil Nadu are moving in 'opposite directions' and that there is a disconnect between the party and the people. The senior Congress leader went on to say that Sasikala is 'unacceptable' to most and that her taking the office of Tamil Nadu's chief minister would be a poor exercise of Governor Vidyasagar Rao's discretion.
