The AIADMK spokesperson CR Saraswathy, said that, "Amma (Jayalalithaa) has progressed very well under the daily monitoring of Apollo Hospital doctors and specialists and soon she will return home."

According to the AIADMK, Ms Jayalalithaa was "taking rest" as per doctors' advice. "Otherwise, she is completely well and will come home soon. God is by her side on her health," she said.

68-year-old Jayalalithaa was admitted to Apollo Hospital on September 22 after she complained of fever and dehydration.

A specialist from London besides a three-member team of doctors from AIIMS, Delhi, had also examined Ms Jayalalithaa, who is being treated for infection with respiratory support.
