Ammas MPs drop her name

December 05, 2014 13:48

All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam MPs on Monday broke their own convention during Question Hour, when they did not mention their party leader, Jayalalithaa (popularly known as Amma) even once.

This lapse did not go unnoticed by the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party MPs, and a Union minister even asked them why Amma's name had been blacked out, why they did not thump the desk to announce 'the people's chief minister' as they usually do when they speak in Parliament.

Not unsurprisingly, there was no response from any of Amma's 37 Lok Sabha MPs.
