Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will visit Chennai today to pay floral tributes to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, who passed away last night.
“The Delhi Chief Minister will reach Chennai around 12.30 pm and pay tributes to Jayalalithaa at Rajajji Hall,” said a senior Delhi government official.
“V sad to hear the demise of Amma. A very very popular leader. Aam admi’s leader. May her soul rest in peace,” Kejriwal tweeted.
Jayalalithaa, a popular leader who showered the poor with populist programmes, had died last night at a private hospital in Chennai after battling for life for the past 75 days.
The 67-year-old leader had suffered a massive cardiac arrest on Sunday evening.
