Jaya, friend Sasikala head for Delhi

July 06, 2011 12:43

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa left for Delhi today to take part in the finalisation of the annual plan by the Planning Commission.

Official sources said Jayalalithaa was accompanied by her close aide Sasikala (of the extravagant, over-the-top marriage scandal), Finance Minister O Panneerselvam and high ranking officials.

This is Jayalalithaa's second visit to Delhi since she came to power.

During her June 14 meeting with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Jaya had placed a demand for a special assistance of Rs one lakh crore even as she had been charging previous DMK regime with pushing the state into a 'debt-trap.'
