Jaya in Kodanad for retreat

Ooty: The lovely hills here reverberated with hea­rty slogans from an unp­re­cedented turnout of party members and local fans who gathered to gr­eet AIADMK leader and CM J. Jayal­alithaa wh­en she arrived at Ko­danad on Tuesday for a well deserved rest.

Some of the followers cheered her as the future PM while some others raised slogans hailing her welfare schemes for the Nilgiris. The crowds stood cheering all along the road as the CM, who arrived by helicopter sh­o­­rtly before 3 pm, dro­ve to her  bu­nga­low.

Jay­al­aithaa wa­ved back sm­ili­ngly at the crowd. AI­AD­MK district secretary S. Kalai­selvan, MP K.R.­Arjunan and Ooty ML­A Budhi­chandran pre­­se­nted bouquets to the CM.
