1. The Cover story analyses the near paralysed status of Tamilnadu Government after the arrest of its former Chief Minister J.Jayalalitha, after the verdict of a Bangalore special court pronounced her guility in the Rs.53.5 crore disproportianate assets case. O.Panneerselvam, the Bodinayackanur MLA who has taken charge as the new CM of the state is not known to be as powerful as his party's supremo. Though he has decorated the top post in the State for a brief period, when Ms.Jayalalitha's candidature was disqualified by the Supreme Court in 2001-2001, then he was having the guidance of his leader who was in the capital city. But now Jaya is in a Bangalore Jail and Ministers and MLA's keep visiting her. So many beauracratic decisions are pending before the new CM, seeking his tough stand in various issues.

An annexure to the cover story traces the 18 year history of disproportianate assets case lodged against the former CM J.Jayalalitha, her accomplices Sasikala. N.Sudhakaran and Ilavarasi.
