Jaya's niece Deepa planning to join politics

CHENNAI: A month after her aunt and former Tamil Nadu chief minister Jayalalithaa's death, Deepa Jayakumar has hinted at her entry into politics. Addressing supporters who had gathered at her Thyagaraya Nagar residence, she said, "My entry into politics cannot be stopped." Daughter of Amma's only brother, late Jayakumar, Deepa caught media attention recently after she alleged she wasn't allowed to meet Jaya when she was hospitalised for 75 days. She did not reveal her political plans, instead waving the victory sign to her supporters who urged her to enter politics and carry forward the work done by her late aunt.
