Kanimozhi
Kanimozhi is the latest in the series of women politicians accused of corruption charges. The jailed daughter of DMK Chief M Karunanidhi has been in Tihar Prisons since May 2011 in connection with the 2G spectrum scam, in which she is alleged to be co-conspirator. Out of his three fives and six children, Kanimozhi has been the favorite child of Karunanidhi and has been the urban face of the party. Basically a poet and journalist, her political career that began in 2007 after being elected to the Rajya Sabha had taken a slow and steady course. It was, of course, a transition period from what is labeled as her father's literary legacy to his political legacy. Her political future plunged into darkness ever since the 2G scam was out to the public. CBI charge sheeted Kanimozhi in the historical corruption scandal for her role in accepting 214-crore kickback for Kalaignar TV in which she owns a 20 percent stake. She was arrested and sent to jail on 20 May, 2011 after her bail plea was rejected.
