Actor and Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan has described late CM of TN in glorious terms. Saying that he is extremely saddened by her passing away, he has said that her death is a loss to the entire country.

Below is the statement Pawan has issued some time ago:

"I am extremely saddened by the death of the revolutionary leader and Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Smt. J Jayalalitha. Like everyone else, I hoped that she will recover from her bad health. But she has left us devastated. For more than three decades, she left a great legacy in politics. Fondly called as 'Amma' by her people, she is a worshiped personality to whom the progress of the downtrodden was the life breath. Her pro-poor welfare schemes are worthy of replication. She stood as the symbol of women's power. Her death is a loss not just to Tamil Nadu, but the entire country. I mourn her death on behalf of Jana Sena Party."
