Jaya mum on meeting Sonia
Chennai, Jan. 24: When asked if she would meet Congress president Sonia Gandhi at the gathering, the word was mum from AIADMK general secretary Jayalalithaa, who left for Delhi on Sunday to attend the diamond jubilee celebrations of the Election Commission.
Ms Jayalalithaa said she was proud of her visit to the diamond jubilee celebrations of the EC that plays a key role in India, the largest democracy of the world.
"Mr Navin Chawla personally called up and invited me for the celebrations. I am proud of being part of this big event. I don’t want to comment on reports saying that I would meet Congress president Sonia Gandhi at the meeting," she said before the police pushed out the media.
Chennai airport witnessed a near stampede as AIADMK workers came in large numbers to see her off. In the melee, party organising secretary Sulochana Sampath fainted.
The police restrained the media from talking to Ms Jayalalithaa and stopped AIADMK functionaries from greeting her.
