Why is the health condition of Jayalalithaa Amma kept as a secret. There are unconfimred rumors that even Governor Ch Vidyasagar Rao was not allowed to see her in person. VVIPs made their visits but they were not allowed into the ICU where she is getting the treatment it is reported.
There is a talk among the medical fraternity that she could be clinically alive and responding to the treatment on the ventilator. The same thing happened in case of MGR also when he was in hospital.
The big question is will they allow the Prime Minister Narendra Modi to see Jayalalithhaa Amma in person.
Although the nature of her reported ill health is tightly guarded, it’s only a matter of time before the opposition gets wind of it because she is the sole leader of her party and is the Chief Minister. Her continued reluctance to public appearance will only feed the rumour mills. It’s worthwhile to note that even with the best PR spin, that too when the media presence was so limited, the party had been unable to keep MGR’s indisposition a secret.
The most interesting aspect of this saga, meanwhile, is that protagonist Karuna, although wheelchair-bound and old, hasn’t yet given up and is keenly watching.
BJP general secretary Muralidhar Rao said in Chennai that his party would campaign against the government’s “bad governance” in the state.”Governance is affected in all aspects. There is Corruption, mis governance, bad governance. They have not been able to deliver in any area. Employment is going down and industries are getting closed”, he said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will soon visit Chennai to enquire about the health status of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa, who has been hospitalised, Union minister of state for highways and shipping Pon Radhakrishnan said on Saturday.
“The Prime Minister Narendra Modi is keen to know about the health condition of Jayalalithaa and get updates on it and will soon visit Chennai,” he told reporters at nearby Tirupur.
Jayalalithaa was admitted to Apollo hospital on September 22 for fever and dehydration.
A galaxy of leaders, including Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi and top BJP leaders Arun Jaitley and Amit Shah had visited the hospital since then to enquire about her health status.
But it is time that the hospital authorities and people at the helm of affairs in Tamilnadu must make it clear to the people as what really is the status of Jayalalithaa Amma.
