Chennai: AIADMK said on Sunday that Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa had recovered well and would resume her duties soon.

"She is doing physiotherapy exercise. Soon she'll be back to resume her duties," party leader CR Saraswathi said, as per ANI.

On the other hand, PTI reported AIADMK as saying that AIIMS experts had confirmed that Jayalalithaa had "completely recovered" and would return home soon.

 "The AIIMS doctors visited the hospital yesterday and after examining her (Jayalalithaa's) health, they shared the good news with us that Amma (meaning mother as Jayalalithaa is fondly called by AIADMK cadres) has completely recovered," party spokesperson C Ponnaiyan told reporters.

 The team, comprising Dr G Khilnani, Professor, Department of Pulmonology Medicine, Dr Anjan Trikha, Professor of Anaesthesiology and Critical Care and Dr Nitish Nayak, Professor, Department of Cardiology, has been visiting the hospital regularly.

Ponnaiyan added that Jayalalithaa was doing "physical exercises" and was eating food on her own and advising officers on issues related to government and party activities.

"Specialists from Mount Elizabeth hospital (Singapore) are also providing physiotherapy to her," he said.

The 68-year-old AIADMK supremo was admitted on September 22.

She had complained of fever and dehydration.

The hospital had been issuing bulletins on her health status and had said that the Tamil Nadu CM was being treated for infection.

On November 13, the official Twitter handle of AIADMK had issued a statement by Jayalalithaa  wherein she had said, "I have taken a rebirth with the prayers of party cadres and people. What can harm me when I have your love. I am waiting to completely recover and resume my work for people."

I have taken a rebirth with the prayers of party cadres and people - Puratchi Thalaivi Amma.
