Jayalalitha in Delhi today to meet PM

NEW DELHI: Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa will be in Delhi on Monday on a two-day politically significant visit with both the Congress and DMK, not on the best of terms, keenly watching her signals.

On her first visit to the capital after assuming office, Jayalalithaa will meet the PM and is expected to discuss issues like Sri Lankan Tamils and various developmental projects in her state.

The visit comes at a time when there are growing strains in the seven-year-old ties between the two parties after the drubbing in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry . Jayalalithaa has been avoiding questions on whether she will meet Sonia.
