Deepa Jayakumar, the niece of late former chief mimister of Tamil Nadu J Jayalalithaa, has taken over the possession of her aunt’s residence on Friday.
“This is the first time I am visiting in the absence of my aunt. The house looks barren and empty now. The furniture used by my aunt has been removed,” Ms Deepa said, expressing her interest in living at her aunt’s house.
Earlier AIADMK took over the house and converted it into the buidling without consulting former actress’ family.
The court verdict came after the petitions filed by Ms Deepa and her brother, who challenged the acquisition of the property.
There is no public interest in this acquisition… there is already an 80 crore memorial for Jayalalithaa along the Marina (beach) a few kilometers away. What’s the inspirational story that Veda Nilayam may provide which the 80 crore Marina memorial doesn’t?” said the court order.
