PM Narendra Modi has been tweeting about Jayalalithaa since her death on Monday evening.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Chennai today to pay his last respects to
Tamil Nadu chief minister Jayalalithaa who passed away last night.
Clad in a white kurta and trousers, PM Modi was received at the airport by Governor Vidyasagar Rao.
The Prime Minister later boarded a helicopter to INS Adayar en route to Rajaji Hall, where Jayalalithaa's body is lying in state.
In a series of tweets last night, the Prime Minister, who enjoyed a good personal equation with the late leader, had said:
Jayalalithaa, a popular leader who showered the poor with populist programmes, died last night at a private hospital in Chennai after battling for life for 75 days. The 67-year-old leader had suffered a massive cardiac arrest on Sunday evening.
