Tamil Nadu's Amma is no more

Tamil Nadu's Amma is no more
Credits:

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, J. Jayalalithaa has passed away. Despite advanced life-saving measures undertaken by a dedicated team at Apollo Hospital, she was unable to recover from the cardiac arrest she suffered on Sunday. Jayalalithaa had been in hospital for the past 77 days; given her unparalleled popularity amongst the people, Tamil Nadu continues to remain tense. Further details are awaited.

Early Life
J.Jayalalithaa

Jayaraman Jayalalithaa was born on February 24, 1948 in Mysore. Her father passed away when she was two; her mother then relocated to Tamil Nadu and began working in Tamil movies. Jayalalithaa began her schooling at the Bishop Girls High School in Bangalore; few years later she moved to Chennai to live with her mother and attended the Presentation Church Park Chennai.

Work life
The movie world beckons

Although known to be a bright student, Jayalalithaa was persuaded by her mother to accept work opportunities in the movies. She was initially reluctant as she wanted to be a doctor or a lawyer but financial constraints made that impossible. By age 15, she had already acted in a Kannada film. She was noticed in her first Tamil movie by Tamil superstar, M.G. Ramachandran.

Origins
Jayalalithaa joins AIADMK

Jayalalithaa's association with MGR catapulted her into politics. MGR, who founded AIADMK, went on to become Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu in 1977. MGR was in need of a 'propaganda secretary' to effectively take on Karunanidhi in the opposition, an impressive orator. Jayalalithaa was formally appointed as the Propaganda Secretary in 1983. MGR remained Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu until his death in 1987.

Post-MGR era
Jayalalithaa's ascent to power

Post MGR's death AIADMK split: one faction supported MGR's wife whereas the other supported Jayalalithaa; Jayalalithaa's faction had much support amongst the cadres. In 1989, the two factions consolidated and Jayalalithaa became CM of Tamil Nadu for the first time in 1991. She served as CM of Tamil Nadu from 1991-96, briefly in 2001, 2002-06, 2011-2014 and from May 2015 - present.

Details
Medical History

According to a bail plea filed in Karnataka HC, Jayalalithaa suffers from hypertension, arthritis and diabetes. Since 2015, there are rumours of her needing a liver transplant; she also excused herself from attending events due to a 'health-condition'. When Jayalalithaa was being sworn-in as Chief Minister in May 2016, the ceremony was cut short allegedly due to poor health. However there was no confirmation.

As supporters of the AIADMK party gathered outside Apollo Hospital, the state bureaucracy is functioning smoothly with orders being sent out of the hospital. AIADMK spokesperson CR Saraswati sought to assuage fears over Jayalalithaa's health saying she was "hale and hearty" and would be discharged from hospital soon. Rumors had been surfacing in the state that Jayalalithaa's health took a turn for the worse.

Jayalalithaa's portfolios handed over to Finance Minister

Tamil Nadu Governor C Vidyasagar Rao said all of CM Jayalalithaa's portfolios have been handed over to state Finance Minister O Panneerselvam. In addition to receiving the Public department, IAS, IPS, IFS, General Administration, Home and Police portfolios, Panneerselvam will also preside over Cabinet meetings. However, the AIADMK clarified that Jayalalithaa would continue to be the state's Chief Minister.

Jayalalithaa is currently undergoing physiotherapy, and doctors are considering shifting her from the Critical Care Unit to a private room. The announcement is expected to calm tensions within Tamil Nadu's political circles over her health.

No news on Jaya's health, Chennai tense

In light of CM Jayalalithaa's sudden change in health, tension are running high across Tamil Nadu. Officials did not update citizens about her health, leading to tense situations across Tamil Nadu; Police deployed riot control vehicles in various parts of Chennai to contain any situation that may arise. AIADMK supporters gathered outside the hospital to offer prayers for Jayalalithaa's health.

Rumors of Jayalalithaa's death do the rounds

Local media sources reported that TN Chief Minister Jayalalithaa passed away at Apollo hospital in Chennai.

Police have been deployed across Tamil Nadu and the AIADMK is expected to make a statement soon.
