29 Sept 2014 4:02 AM IST
CPI on Saturday said the conviction and sentencing of Tamil Nadu CM J Jayalalithaa to four year imprisonment would have ‘far-reaching’ implications in the state and national politics, though there was no threat to the AIADMK government as it enjoyed a majority.
‘Though she cannot remain the CM and cannot contest elections, there is no threat to the government as AIADMK has the majority. But this will have far-reaching implications on Tamil Nadu politics as well as that of the nation,’ party national secretary D Raja said.
Responding to the violence that broke out, he said there have been ‘emotional outbursts’ to protest the sentencing of Jaya but it should not create law and order problem in the state.
