Jayalalithaa now rendered irrelevant: Swamy

By Our Special Correspondent

CHENNAI, SEPT. 22. The swearing in of Mr. O. Paneerselvam as Chief Minister has rendered Ms.Jayalalithaa ``irrelevant in Tamil Nadu politics,'' the Janata party president, Dr. Subramanian Swamy, said today.

Ms. Sasikalaa, associate of Ms. Jayalalithaa, and her family did not need Ms. Jayalalithaa any more and ``they will ease her out,'' Dr. Swamy said.

Dr.Swamy advised Mr.Paneerselvam not to repeat the ``mistakes'' of Ms.Jayalalithaa. The Chief Minister should uphold the rule of law, function within the canons of democratic decency and should not incite violence, he said.

Dr. Swamy ruled out any electoral understanding or alliance with the ``pro-LTTE'' MDMK in the local bodies elections. The party would not put up a Mayoral candidate in Chennai, said Ms.Chandralekha, State president.
