Meeting of AIADMK MLAs postponed as Jayalalithaa remains critical
The meeting was scheduled to be held at 6 pm on Monday to chalk out strategies but no such deliberations took place despite MLAs assembling at the AIADMK headquarters in Chennai.
A meeting of ruling AIADMK MLAs in Tamil Nadu, which was expected to discuss key issues in the wake of the “grave” health situation of party supremo and chief minister J Jayalalithaa, has been postponed, party sources said on Monday night.
The meeting was scheduled to be held at 6 pm on Monday to chalk out strategies but no such deliberations took place despite MLAs assembling at the AIADMK headquarters in Chennai.
The sources could not state exactly when the meeting would take place, but only reiterated that “it has been postponed.”
“It could be later in the night or even tomorrow... all we can confirm is that the meeting has been postponed,” they said.
The MLAs had also met earlier on Monday at Apollo Hospital, where Jayalalithaa is undergoing treatment and reportedly discussed the leadership issue, among other matters.
According to doctors, Jayalalithaa, who suffered a cardiac arrest on Sunday, is in a very “grave” condition.
AIADMK has a total of 136 MLAs in the the 234-member House, including Jayalalithaa.
