AIADMK chief Jayalalithaa on Sunday declined to comment on reports that she would be meeting Congress President Sonia Gandhi during her visit to Delhi to take part in the Diamond Jubilee celebrations of the Election Commission.

“I do not want to comment on the reports,” she told reporters before emplaning for Delhi.

There was a huge crowd of AIADMK workers at the airport to see her off and party headquarters secretary Sulochana Sampath fainted during the melee.

Police had made tight security arrangements and several media personnel were prevented from meeting Ms. Jayalalithaa even though she was prepared to talk to them. Only a few managed to talk to her.
