Not fair to spread rumours on CM: Naidu

Emerging from the hospital, Naidu quoted doctors and said that Jayalalithaa was responding well to treatment. “I had a detailed briefing by the doctors. They said Chief Minister Jayalalithaa is responding to the treatment. It is not fair to spread rumours about her health. I’m confident she will recover soon,” he said.

Earlier in the day, Puducherry Chief Minister V Narayanasamy, visited the hospital to enquire about the Chief Minister even as special prayers were held for her good health across Tamil Nadu. “I pray to the Almighty that she recovers fully and gets back to her routine. I am fully confident that she will recover soon,” Narayanasamy told reporters.

Tamil Maanila Congress (TMC) chief GK Vasan also visited the hospital on Sunday and told reporters that she was being given specialised medical care. “I met the director of the hospital and interacted with the doctors who confirmed that the CM’s health was improving. Our best wishes to Chief Minister Jayalalithaa for a speedy recovery. We wish, on behalf of Tamil Maanila Congress, that she should resume her work for the people,” he said. CPI leader and Rajya Sabha MP D Raja also visited the hospital and expressed his party’s wishes for Jayalalithaa’s speedy recovery.
