The sprawling, two-acre farmhouse at Kalapatty, on the outskirts of the city, is getting spruced up for AIADMK supremo J. Jayalalithaa’s stay during her election campaign here.
Sources said the 40 cent, spacious bungalow has more than 15 big rooms and belongs to Mr Selvaraj, who owns a mill at Arasur. The farmhouse, where he resides, is situated just 1 kilometre from the four road junction and 4 km from the Peelamedu airport.
The entire farmhouse has been refurbished for Ms Jayalalithaa’s visit. The house is nestled amidst a coconut grove to give a green ambience. Moreover, the farmhouse is well protected with a high compound wall with electric fencing to ward off
intruders.
