	The Hindu : The Jayalalithaa saga
		Jayalalithaa and her Ministers were at the receiving end of over 20 prosecutions.
		The Jayalalithaa acquittals are, perhaps, a message to seriously consider the overall proposal of the Law Commission to bring charged `tainted' politicians within the domain of disqualification and not leave such matters just to the electorate.
		Jayalalithaa's interest to get elected as an MLA before she stakes a claim as Chief Minister, for three reasons.

		Jayalalithaa realised the power of the two-leaves symbol, when it was frozen by the Election Commission in the assembly elections on January 21, 1989.
		Jayalalithaa got the right break on March 25, 1989, when she was allegedly ill-treated by the ruling DMK in the Assembly.
		The image of Jayalalithaa coming out of the Assembly with her hair disheveled, Kannaki-like, and vowing to return to the House "only as the chief minister" gave her the image of a woman scorned by a male chauvinistic majority.

		Last time, Jayalalithaa kept 140 seats for herself and gave away the remaining to her alliance partners, who were few in number.

		Jayalalithaa herself drew attention to this ‘gift’ of memory last year when there were allegations that she had taped her telephone conversation with Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil.
		Jayalalithaa denied that the conversation was taped and stated, “I have the gift of total recall of conversations, materials that I have read, and speeches that I have heard.
		Sonia waited for Jayalalithaa’s arrival for a long time, before information reached her that the latter wouldn’t be able to make it to the meeting as she was “stuck in a sea of humanity in Chennai” where she was campaigning for the Congress candidate.

		Jayalalithaa said her government is committed to the second-generation reforms.
		While not fully subscribing to the theory of a minimalist government as suggested by Infosys chairman Narayana Murthy, Jayalalithaa said she believed that the state should place its focus on the basics, namely, the maintenance of law and order, sound regulatory practices and functioning infrastructure.

		Jayalalithaa’s preposterous statement in the Madras High Court is her defence for ordering policemen to barge into the mutt in their boot-clad feet and for arresting Pujya Bala Periava when he was in the midst of Trikala pooja.
		If Jayalalithaa is still making those ritual visits to the three samadhis of these primordial Dravidians on birthdays and death days then she is doing so to offer flowers and fold her hands in worship.
		Jayalalithaa also cannot be expected to know that for Hindus pitru worship and worship of the dead is a sacred Hindu tradition and responsibility.

	The Telegraph - Calcutta : Opinion
		For, as Congressmen were quick to observe, by openly daring Aiyar to “repeat” his opening remarks about her in that article, Jayalalithaa had, just a month before the assembly elections in five northern states, reopened the debate on the foreign origin of the Congress president.
		Jayalalithaa had managed to refocus attention on the Sonia-question and soon all TNCC factions were together at a meeting to express their solidarity to the party and its president.
		And this was just three years after Jayalalithaa had herself written to the president, expressing her party’s support to Sonia Gandhi becoming prime minister, he pointed out.

	INT'L WOMEN'S DAY: Solidarity Empowers
		That intervention was another opportunity for Jayalalithaa, who is often accused of imperious behavior, to cement her image as a leader who works in solidarity when it comes to women and their issues.
		In a country with myriad divisions in society and known for its 'vote bank' politics, Jayalalithaa is one politician who has grasped the idea that the biggest single constituency of the underprivileged is that of women.
		Jayalalithaa knows only too well that changing the structures that consign India's rural poor -- especially poor women -- to lifelong disadvantage is tough and demands a quantum shift in public attitudes.

		Disproving pre-poll surveys, Jayalalithaa retained the two seats against a strong alliance led by the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and a stronger campaign by the Kanchi Mutt in Kanchipuram.
		According to a political observer, it was characteristic of Jayalalithaa to bounce back from near-impossible situations, just as she had in the byelections.
		The case was first filed in June 2001—less than a month after Jayalalithaa took over as chief minister—and culminated in the sensational midnight arrests of Karunanidhi and a few other DMK leaders.

	The Jayalalithaa's triumph
		The significance of Jayalalithaa's acquittals is that now there are no immediate legal hurdles for her to get elected to the Assembly and be sworn in Chief Minister again.
		Since the prosecution did not establish that Jayalalithaa obtained pecuniary advantage by abusing her position as a public servant, guilt under Section 13(1)(d) of the PCA was not made out, Justice Dhinakar ruled.
		While the Judge acquitted Jayalalithaa of the offence under Section 477-A of the IPC (falsification of records), Selvaganapathy was sentenced under that section.

		Even at that time, Ms Jayalalithaa had made it clear that it was only a temporary arrangement and that she would come back as Chief Minister after fighting her legal battles.

		CHENNAI: All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam general secretary and Chief Minister Jayalalithaa on Friday said that her party, if elected to power in the May 8 Assembly election, would distribute computers free to each and every successful candidate of the Standard XII examination.
		Continuing her election campaign in Chennai city and adjacent areas in Kancheepuram and Tiruvallur districts, she said though computers could be used for communication just as telephone, the poor and the downtrodden were not in a position to avail themselves of the facility.
		Jayalalithaa also promised to end the "monopoly" of a private company in the cable television sector.

	The arrest of Nedumaran
		At her initiative, the Assembly passed a resolution on April 16 demanding that the Indian Army be sent to Sri Lanka to capture Prabakaran with the help of the Sri Lankan Army and that he be extradited to India to stand trial in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case.
		Nedumaran's arrest and the demand for Kannappan's removal made several Opposition parties allege that Jayalalithaa was misusing POTA to muzzle the Opposition and to divert people's attention from her government's failures on many fronts.
		Some political observers speculate that although Jayalalithaa has consistently opposed the LTTE after it assassinated Rajiv Gandhi and also worked hard for its proscription, the arrests and the demand to sack Kannappan were part of a political plan.

	Indian film star turned demagogue: Selvi J Jayalalithaa \| April 2004 \| New Internationalist
		She spent a brief period in jail in 2002 before the verdict was quashed on appeal for ‘lack of evidence’.
		The indomitable Jayalalithaa floats on the politics of Tamil Nadu like a rather large, overloaded ship, sails billowing in the brisk breeze of her own self-esteem.
		In January 2003 she told a gathering of women scientists and entrepreneurs in Chennai that she regretted the paradox that the ‘prosperity of nature’ could co-exist with the ‘poverty of the people’.

		Fighting the 40-odd cases the DMK regime filed against her during 1996-2001, Jayalalithaa has come a long way to re-establish her might.
		If Karunanidhi's strength is alliance arithmetic, Jayalalithaa relies more on the chemistry she has been carefully formulating for more than a year.
		Jayalalithaa's handling of tsunami and floods have earned her considerable support.

		During arguments, Attorney General Soli Sorabjee had submitted that Ministers in Jayalalithaa's Cabinet would have to resign if her appointment was held unconstitutional but all decisions taken by her would be "saved" on account of the de-facto doctrine.

		Bangalore: Union Minister of Environment and Forests T R Baalu on September 16 lashed out at Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, charging her with "overbearing and autocratic attitude" and failing to take Opposition parties and farmers in her state into confidence on the Cauvery issue.
		The senior DMK (Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam) leader, responding to a question at a news conference, severely criticised Jayalalithaa for her statement that the kind of "loyalty" to the state exhibited by the political class in Karnataka was "totally absent" in Tamil Nadu.
		He also charged Jayalalithaa with having failed to put forth facts and figures before the Cauvery River Authority, and "miserably failing" to have required decision by CRA.

	Asia Times Online - The best news coverage from South Asia
		In her previous stint at the helm, Jayalalithaa was as hostile to the press as she is today.
		It is part of a larger attempt to eliminate alternate centers of power and political opposition, to halt criticism of Jayalalithaa's style of governance, indeed of anyone who disapproves or speaks against any of her policies.
		But while this bout of the Jayalalithaa vs media confrontation might have gone in favor of the latter, Tamil Nadu's capricious chief minister is not about to give up yet.

	Jayalalithaa's eminently sensible act
		Chandrababu Naidu has championed good governance, but now Jayalalithaa and A K Antony seem to be doing some plain-speaking and 'tough love' of their own.
		It is a fair bet that Jayalalithaa was emboldened by A K Antony's success last year against striking government employees in Kerala last year.
		I hope that Jayalalithaa's eminently sensible act in breaking this unreasonable strike is a sign of visionary, far-sighted governance.
