Leaders of Puducherry All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam on Saturday conducted special prayers at a local temple for the early return of AIADMK general secretary Jayalalithaa as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.
Ever since Ms. Jayalalithaa was convicted and sentenced by the Special Court at Bangalore in disproportionate case, the AIADMK rank-and-file here had been staging protest and conducting special prayers for her early release from prison.
Even after her release from the prison, cadre of the AIADMK’s Puducherry unit have been continuing with special prayers in churches and temples now — this time to have her back as Chief Minister.
