Low key celebrations of Jayalalithaa’s birthday

MT JAYA B DAYCelebrations of the birthday of AIADMK chief, J Jayalalithaa in the Mylapore neighborhood turned out to be very low key – the splash of party flags and buntings, the reams of large posters and banners which we usually get to see on such occasions were few and far between in various places we visited through the day.

The one big show that the party unit hosted was held at the Corporation Wedding Hall in Alwarpet where scores of men and women were given vestis and saris and a few seniors given cycles.

The promos said that minister Valarmathi and local area MLA, Rajalakshmi were to be guests at this event but there was no sign of them till about noontime.
