A day before the R K Nagar bypoll, TTV Dinakaran has released a video showing Jayalalithaa in the hospital. In a strategically timed move, Dinakaran's team has released the footage to counter suspicion of Jayalalithaa being unconscious throughout her treatment at the Apollo hospital. The 20-second video shows Jayalalithaa watching TV from the hospital bed. The video is aimed at destroying all claims of the Edappadi Palanisamy and O Panneerselvam camp raising doubts over Jayalalithaa's actual health status while undergoing treatment at the Apollo hospital.
