Nightlong beach party of Jayalalithaa supporters

Chennai, May 23 (IBNS) Close to the university auditorium where AIADMK supremo J Jalyalalithaa will take oath on Saturday to return as Tamil Nadu's chief minister, there was a night-long party on the beach with thousands of people gathering from across the state.

The Marina Beach is teeming with people who have come to to  witness the return of "Amma" or mother - as Jayalalithaa is known by her fans. They spent the night sleeping in the open, media reports said.

Many of them watched the news on mute, on two giant screens set up for the occasion.

Screens have been put up in several places to enable thousands of supporters to watch the swearing in ceremony on Saturday at 11 am in the Madras University's Centenary auditorium.

Eight months after she was forced to quit over corruption charges, Jayalalithaa will be sworn in on Saturday along with 28 ministers.
