BJP leader Subramanian Swamy has urged the Public Prosecutor in the disproportionate assets case against former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa to vigorously oppose the bail applications of the convicted persons fixed for hearing on October 7, 2014.

Mr. Swamy, who is the complainant in the case, said the events in the State since the >judgment was pronounced in Bangalore on September 27, raised a strong presumption that the AIADMK party cadre and elected representatives were instigated to indulge in demonstrations against the judge.

Hence, Jayalalithaa and her three associates must be denied bail. “I also urge the Narendra Modi government to impose President's Rule in Tamil Nadu for one year, and subsequently hold general elections in the State. All violent and anti-national elements in the State should be arrested under the NSA," Mr. Swamy said in a statement.
