J Jayalalithaa returns to Assembly as Chief Minister Monday August 24,2015

 

After a gap of several months, AIADMK general secretary Jayalalithaa returned to the Tamil Nadu Assembly as Chief Minister on Monday August 24,2015

J Jayalalithaa entered the House to a standing ovation from the Members of the AIADMK, who welcomed her with a huge applause and thumping of the desks.

Delivering an address, TN Assembly Speaker P. Dhanapal heaped praise on the Chief Minister, invoking mythological comparisons from the Mahabharata.

He said while conspiracy had surrounded J Jayalalithaa like a “Chakara Vyuham”, she was no Abhimanyu to be caught in the plot. Rather, she was the embodiment of Maha Vishnu, who holds the Chakara in the hand and destroys conspiracies.

TN Assembly Speaker P Dhanapal said the victory that J Jayalalithaa achieved in the R.K. Nagar by-election was unprecedented in the history of Tamil Nadu.

Later, the Assembly adopted condolence resolutions for the passing away of former President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, former Minister P. Chendur Pandian and legendary music director M.S. Viswananthan.

Reading out the resolution, TN Assembly Speaker P Dhanapal said former President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam hailed from an ordinary family in Rameswaram and reached great heights through sheer hard work. He became a President praised by all sections of the society. Even when he was serving as President, his thoughts were preoccupied with the welfare of students.

On legendary music director M.S. Viswananthan.  TN Assembly Speaker P Dhanapal said the music director was a great chapter in the history of Tamil cinema. The House was later adjourned for the day as mark of respect for the departed.
