Former Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa was an unparalleled leader who will live forever in the hearts of the people for her unparalleled welfare initiatives, AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami said here on Thursday.
Palaniswami, accompanied by his party seniors and workers, wore a black shirt and paid floral tributes to Jayalalithaa on her eighth death anniversary at the Marina Beach.
Later, paying huge tributes to the former party supremo, Palaniswami described her as an unparalleled leader “who dedicated herself to the people, and will always be remembered in the hearts of the people for her unique welfare schemes.” “She led this movement (AIADMK), through various trials and continued on the path for the welfare of the people. She is the spirit keeper and inspiring force behind it – Goddess of the heart and revolutionary leader #Amma, on her death anniversary,” Palaniswami said in a post on social media platform ‘X’.
He appealed to the party members to follow the path shown by “Amma” and ensure victory for the AIADMK in the 2026 assembly elections. “Let’s drive away the rule of evil forces and restore Amma’s rule,” ex-chief minister Palaniswami urged his party men. Jayalalithaa is fondly called “Amma” by her party workers.
