After Amma posters on flood materials, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa’s picture has now surfaced on wreaths to be put on the coffins of Siachen martyrs.
One of the pictures released by the government PRO shows a Rs 10 lakh cheque being released to the widow of Sepoy G Ganesan.
State minister Sellur Raju can be seen holding the cheque with a picture of Jayalalithaa on top of it with the District Collector, even as the Superintendent of police looks on.
In another picture, which seems to have been clicked at the Chennai airport when the bodies of the soldiers were flown in, the same minister can be seen placing a wreath with Amma written on it.
During the floods when the AIADMK was criticised heavily for Amma posters on relief materials, party leaders and government had distanced itself saying it was done by individual members and not on behest of the government.
But this time, the picture has been released by the government itself.
