He declined to say anything further.

The election affidavit filed by Jayalalithaa in April this year had mentioned several assets, including her swanky Poes Garden residence here.

The assets were valued at Rs 113.72 crore, including movable assets of Rs 41.63 crore and immovable assets of Rs 72.09 crore.

Asked if Poes Garden would be converted into a memorial, Ponnaiyan said it would be decided by the party high command as well as the general and executive committees.

Meanwhile, chief Minister O Panneerselvam and other Cabinet members paid floral tributes at Jayalalithaa’s burial site in the MGR Memorial Complex on Marina beach on Saturday.

Veteran CPI leader Nallakannu and CPI State Secretary R Mutharasan called on Sasikala at Jayalalithaa’s Poes Garden residence.
