Highlights of India Today 20th February 2016, issue:

The India Today cover story of the week is about the sudden rise to power of AIADMK General Secretary VK Sasikala and how her moment of triumph has been clouded by public anger and an unprecedented revolt by former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa’s close aide, and interim Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, O Panneerselvam.

The cover story also talks extensively about Sasikala’s family using a family tree, who she banks on, her rise to power, how she could take over the party and the government in this post-truth era, and how Chinnamma made OPS feel that he is just a stand-in and drove him to revolt.

The Upfront package talks about Tata Group's former chairman Cyrus Mistry’s removal from the Tata Sons board after the shareholders met for an 'extraordinary general meeting' at the company's Bombay House headquarters. The story talks about what all happened post Mistry’s removal as chairman of the group last October, after being at the helm for four years.

The magazine carries a special report on H1B visas. The report explains what an H1B visa is, US President Donald Trump’s plan to place severe restrictions on hiring foreign workers, and why the H1B visa is crucial to Indians who hope to work in the United States of America.

The issue also comes with three free magazines: Aspire, Simply Chennai, and Simply Hyderabad.
