Kerala CM Pinayari Vijayan also visited her
As the curiosity over Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa's health continues to grow, Kerala Governor P. Sathasivam today said that the AIADMK leader is likely to be discharged soon from the hospital.
Sathasivam along with Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan met the Tamil Nadu CM at the Apollo Hospital.
RESPONDING WELL TO TREATMENT
"All the doctors informed us that there is a good response to the treatment, and she is likely to be discharged soon," Sathasivam told mediapersons. "Soon, she will take over the administration of the state," the Kerala governor added.
Kerala CM Vijayan said that he and the Governor conveyed to her the best wishes of the people of Kerala.
"We got positive news from the doctors. They said she will recover soon," Vijayan said.
While Vijayan arrived from Kozhikode, Sathasivam travelled from Thiruvananthapuram. Together, they drove from the airport to the hospital.
NAME AN INTERIM CM
The Tamil Nadu CM was admitted to the hospital on September 22. Speculations have been doing the round ever since about her deteriorating health. The clamour for naming an interim chief minister too has gained momentum.
The Madras High Court recently dismissed a petition seeking the Tamil Nadu government's statement on Jayalalithaa's health.
Hundreds of AIADMK supporters and political leaders across party lines have been visiting the hospital to meet the Tamil Nadu chief minister.
