BJP MP Tarun Vijay on Sunday visited Apollo Hospitals, where the 68 year-old Jayalalithaa is admitted.

Vijay said Jayalalithaa was "recovering fast" and would resume work soon.

"I have specially brought holy water of lake Manasarovar of Mount Kailash for the chief minister. Amma is recovering very fast. Very soon (she will be) out of hospital and start working," he said.

Vijay said that the "prayers of millions of people are working and she will be very well."

Later, Vijay had handed over 'prasadam' meant for Jayalalithaa with senior AIADMK leader and Deputy Speaker of Lok Sabha, M Thambidurai.

He gave a "special Prasadam from Kedarnath and holy water from Lake Manasarovar," a release from his office said.

It said he was told by the doctors attending on the Chief Minister that "she has recovered and in a day or two would be shifted to her private room in hospital."

"Vijay said that Uttarakhand people are specially thankful to her (Jayalalithaa) for her support to Thiruvalluvar Ganga Payanam (journey) and hence the special prayers were conducted for her health in Uttarakhand's various temples," it said.

Earlier, Jayalalithaa had voiced support to Vijay's efforts to install a statue of Tamil saint poet Thiruvalluvar on the banks of Ganga at Haridwar, which was reportedly opposed by some local sadhus.
