Jaya supporters keep fingers crossed on verdict

Women party workers took out traditional “milk pot spiritual procession” in many places, lamps were lighted in temples and coconuts offered as part of prayers “for the return of Jayalalithaa as Chief Minister”.

Echoing similar sentiment and targeting archrival DMK, AIADMK mouthpiece “Dr Namadhu MGR” today said “the time for our Puratchi Thai (Revolutionary Mother) to sit on the chariot of governance is coming here tomorrow. Till then, little foxes may howl.” Over 6,000 AIADMK women party in Tiruvarur carried milk pots on their heads and went in a procession which culminated at the ancient Thiagaraja Swamy temple where prayer sessions were held.

Also, at the Palani Dhandayuthapani Swami hill temple, a padyatra with “1006 theertha pots” was held. In Tiruvannamalai district’s Raattinamangalam village, 507 women cadres took out a milk pot procession to the Gangaiamman Temple. In Karur, 1,00,008 earthen lamps were lit forming the words “Amma” in the sprawling Sri Kalyanana Pasupatheeshwara temple and a ‘Mahayagna’ is being held which is led by Sivacharyas (priests).
