Jayalalithaa decked with flowers for public view and pay tributes to her, a release from the AIADMK headquarters said today.
Sengottaiyan, also Tamil Nadu School Education Minister, will lead his partymen in paying floral tributes to a portrait of Jayalalithaa at the party office here, it said.
A souvenir will also be released on the occasion, the release "issued with the approval of AIADMK General Secretary VK Sasikala" said.
Further, the party heaped praises on Jayalalithaa, who had passed away on December 5 last, saying AIADMK had reached great heights due to her sheer hardwork and acumen.
