Jayalalithaa not travelling to Singapore for medical treatment; likely to be discharged from hospital tomorrow

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, who was admitted to a hospital here late Thursday night due to fever likely to be released tomorrow, on Sunday, says NDTV citing sources. 

Hospital authorities said on Friday that she is recovering and continues to be under observation. "The Chief Minister (Jayalalithaa) has no fever now and is taking a normal diet. She is under observation," Apollo Hospital's Chief Operating Officer Subbiah Viswanathan said in a press release. 

"She was admitted to the hospital after she complained of fever and dehydration," he said. The 68-year-old AIADMK chief was taken to Apollo Hospital after she complained of fever.

There were reports earlier that she will be flown to Singapore for high sugar and kidney treatment which was denied by AIADMK. "She is very healthy, no problem at all. This (reports that TN CM will travel Singapore for treatment) is just a rumour," CR Saraswathi, AIADMK.

AIADMK party leaders and allies offered prayers in places of worship across Tamil Nadu praying that she gets well soon.
