Tamil Nadu government surprised everyone by Disqualification your contest elections for ten years by issuing a notice of the Gazette. The notification issued by President announced that Srirangam Assembly constituency represented by Jayalalitha was vacant since
September 27.2014, the day he was sentenced. Many political analysts are seeing this as a major setback and perhaps, the end of the political career of Jaya, who is 66 years old.
The former actress, however, is currently on bail after the Supreme Court suspended his sentence last month and gave time until December 18 to file your appeal of the suspension.
According to the current Section 8 of the Act, Representation of the People 1951, MLA seat Jaya is disqualified from the date of his conviction of September 27 until his penalty period of four years and is said to be banned further for another six years elections. Judging by this weekend Jaya's political career seems imminent as 10 long years is great period in politics, because everything would change. For now, only miracles could save her. If something magical happens and the Supreme Court suspended his sentence on the basis of his appeal on December 18, only then could be back to politics. This is indeed one of the worst phase of the political career of Amma.
