"When the erstwhile Chief Minister Jayalalithaa was hospitalized, we were briefed on her health condition through Dr. Pratap Reddy, the Chairman of Apollo Hospitals-band other officials", said O.S. Manian, Handlooms and Textile Minister.
Briefing the media here he said that information about the health status of Jayalalithaa came through Health minister Vijayabhaskar Health Secretary and others who had stayed with her in Apollo Hospitals too but we didn't get the chance to meet her in person.

When asked about the TTV Dinakaran joining ranks with the EPS and OPS camp, the minister said only passing time will answer question.
While lauding CM Edapadi K Palanisamy for instituting a judicial inquiry into the death of Jayalalithaa he said only OPS could answer the question as to why he has changed his stand on demanding CBI inquiry into the death of late leader Jayalalithaa.
MDMK leader Vaiko who is in Geneva to address the UNO session was given enough security the minister said.
