Jayalalithaa planning for a visit to Delhi
NEW DELHI: Winner of Tamil Nadu assembly polls, Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa is likely to visit Delhi soon, party sources informed on Tuesday.
According to a top AIADMK source, “The AIADMK supremo will visit Delhi next month but the date is not yet fixed. As of now we are waiting for amma’s (Jayalalithaa) orders.”
During the visit, she is likely to meet Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and other prominent Congress leaders
Source said, “It has been over a decade that the two leaders have met personally or interacted with each other.”
“Although the Congress party has not openly claimed it’s pro-Jayalalithaa shift, the party definitely seems to rebuild the relations with the AIADMK chief,” the source said.
However it is still not clear that the meeting is formal or a casual one but it is said that the Jayalalithaa’s visit comes after Congress President Sonia Gandhi invited her to tea soon after the poll results were declared earlier this month. Both the Congress and the AIADMK called it a “courtesy” and denied any political alliance at the time.
