Chennai, Oct 4: The Madras High Court on Tuesday asked the Tamil Nadu government to clear confusion about Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa's health.

jayalalithaa1According to news agency ANI, the government lawyer has been asked to submit the information to the court tomorrow.

The instructions from the Madras High Court came in response to a petition asking the AIADMK government statement amid speculation that Jayalalithaa, 68, is seriously unwell and her party is trying to keep it a secret.

The petition also asked that an interim chief minister be appointed as she recovers at the Apollo hospital in Chennai.

Jayalalithaa was hospitalised on September 22 with fever and dehydration.

Her party AIADMK has vehemently denied reports that she is critically ill and said that she is recovering well.

"Apollo hospital authorities say that her treatment is going well. She needs rest and she is recovering. She is hale and healthy and will come back soon," said CR Saraswathi, a party spokesperson, on Tuesday.

Over the weekend, the party confirmed that a UK specialist was flown in to supervise her recovery.

With curiosity about the Chief Minister's health fuelling questions on who is in-charge, a party leader said that a team of six officials and aides - who have also been visiting the hospital - are running the show for now.

The team includes four private secretaries, tasked with overseeing all 54 government departments, the Chief Secretary and Sheela Balakrishnan, the official adviser to the Chief Minister and long-time aide.

Opposition leaders like the DMK's M Karunanidhi have urged the Chief Minister's party to release a photograph to prove she is not critical, but the AIADMK has rejected the demand.

The party has also filed four police cases against people who misreported her health on social media.

Bengaluru, May 29: Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa and BJP State President Nalin Kumar Kateel will resolve any differences of opinion among party leaders in Karnataka, according to Minister of State for Railways Suresh Angadi

If anybody has any issues, they should get them resolved by talking with Yediyurappa and Kateel. Internal matters, if any, should not be discussed in public, he said.

Angadi told reporters here on Friday that differences of opinion among party leaders have not come to his notice. A section of party leaders assembling for dinner should not be constituted as a meeting of dissidents. BJP has internal democracy and any differences of opinion if exist will be resolved at the party forum.

He added that if MLA Umesh Katti has any issues regarding cabinet berth or regarding assurances given to him by Yediyurappa during the Lok Sabha elections, he should talk with the chief minister.

Everyone in politics has aspirations and it's natural. Those aspiring for the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections should talk with the chief minister or the state president, he said.

Ramesh Katti was former MP and there was nothing wrong in him being aspirant for Rajya Sabha elections, he said.

Angadi said, "Party is supreme. We shall work for the victory of party candidates irrespective of who they were".

A state cabinet meeting was held on Thursday. Many of the MLAs too had been to Bengaluru for constituency-related works. As they had been meeting after a long time, all gathered for dinner, he expressed.
