Jaya critical: BJP hopes for 'miracle'

New Delhi: Expressing disquiet over Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa's medical condition, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy on Monday said that he is pinning his hope for another miracle. Swamy told ANI, "She was recovering in a miraculous way; but then 74 days in hospital. As a consequence, the heart will be put to great deal of strain, and so, just as she was about to be discharged. So, it has to revive, and now, she is on support systems and top experts are coming in. We don't know whether there will be another miracle or not. The Apollo Hospital is going to make a formal statement. So, we will know the exact position at 12 o'clock." Swamy said that Jayalalithaa was able to fill the gap of Marudur Gopalan Ramachandran (M.G.R) and she had many other qualities. "She was far more intelligent, had much more education, self education. Jayalalitha used to read books, facts and share a tremendous memory. So she became bigger then M.G.R in one sense, but more feared. MGR was generally loved never feared," he added. "Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is a party without stature there AIADMK have been ministers from a long time. They don't have anybody of stature whom they would accept as a leader. So, therefore, I am afraid BJP might not be able to take advantage of it. AIADMK guys will not do chaos because they are in grief, the other parties, Particularly Naxalites, LTT, ISIS would like to create this kind of chaos. So our centre has been preparing for this situation from a long time; almost 75 days to be exact," Swamy said. Jayalalithaa is in a critical state after suffering a cardiac arrest yesterday evening at the Apollo Hospital here, where she has been admitted since September 22.
