Panneerselvam's supporters see the apex court verdict against Sasikala as a big victory for their chief minister. 

The devastating SC ruling has shattered Sasikala's dream to become the chief minister of Tamil Nadu. 

Sasikala was found guilty of corruption by the Supreme Court and will now have to surrender to the police in Chennai so that she can be jailed for four years. The SC ruling implies that Sasikala is now barred from contesting an election for the next ten years.
