Ashwin's tweet came a day after AIADMK legislators elected General Secretary V.K. Sasikala as their leader, paving the way for her to become the next Chief Minister, two months after her, mentor J. Jayalalithaa, died.

The 59-year-old Sasikala, a long-time Jayalalithaa confidante, later said that outgoing Chief Minister O. Panneerselvam himself wanted her to head the government.

In a lighter vein, Ashwin later tweeted, Guys please cool it down, it is a job creation drive.Nothing to do with Politics. #howmuchtwisting.
