Medical bulletin puts speculation to rest, says Jaya's health improving
Chennai: Advising her to stay put in the hospital for a few more days, the latest Appollo Health Bulletin on the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister’s health revealed that Jayalalithaa was responding well to treatment given to her and was getting better.
The news comes as a relief to supporters and party workers who have been fighting hard to quell rumours regarding her health.
Ruling AIADMK on Sunday dismissed demands to release photographs of the hospitalised party supremo saying the hospital was regularly releasing bulletins about her condition.
"The hospital has been sharing bulletins about her health regularly. Even after sharing the bulletins, what do they expect?," AIADMK spokesperson C R Saraswathi told reporters.
"Every day Ministers are coming and meeting her (Jayalalithaa) since local body elections are around the corner," she said.

On DMK President M Karunanidhi's suggestion to release a photograph of Jayalalithaa to quell rumours about her health, she said, "Even if we do so, he will say it has been photo shopped. He is making such comments just to criticise us." She added that the DMK was making the matter a political issue.
Karunanidhi had recently said that though Apollo Hospital was issuing bulletins on her health, "some unwanted rumours" were deliberately being floated by "some persons".
He had suggested that photographs of Jayalalithaa be released through the media to quell any kind of rumour being circulated about her health.
PMK leader Dr S Ramadoss had also demanded that either an audio or video clipping of her health condition be released to put an end to rumours surrounding her health.
68-year-old Jayalalithaa was admitted to Apollo Hospital here on September 22 after she complained of fever and dehydration. She has been advised to stay for a few days at the hospital.
