Oath or slap? Sasikala video thumping Jayalalithaa's grave leaves Internet confused
Chennai: Former AIADMK chief VK Sasikala on Wednesday visited the memorial of J Jayalalithaa before leaving for Bengaluru to surrender before a court.
While paying respect to the late former Chief Minister, standing by the memorial at Chennai's Marina Beach, the teary-eyed Sasikala was seen hitting the memorial.
This gesture has left the Internet in a state of confusion as to what that could have meant.
While some of Sasikala's supporters said that she had "thumped" the grave as a gesture of taking an oath, the AIADMK tweet said, her thumps signified three vows: "I will overcome hurdle(s), treachery and (the) plotting (against me)."
Don't think #sasikala took a vow at JJ memorial.. more like a thump to JJ yelling at her that she died and she, Sasikala, has to go to jail
