Paying rich tributes to late Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi today said she was not only a great leader of Tamil Nadu, but also of the country.
“I would like to offer my condolences to the people of Tamil Nadu. Jayalalithaa ji was a great leader. She was not only a great leader of Tamil Nadu, she was a leader of this country,” he said, after placing a wreath on her body minutes before it was taken from Rajaji Hall to MGR Memorial hall, where it will be laid to rest.
“I, on behalf of the Congress and party president (Sonia Gandhi) and every single Congress worker in this country, pay our respects to a great lady, to a great leader of Tamil Nadu,” he said.
Senior Congress leaders Ghulam Nabi Azad, Mukul Wasnik and Tamil Nadu Congress Committee President Su Thirunavukkarasar also paid their respects to Jayalalithaa.
