As news came in that the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) party was winning the state elections on May 19, party cadres began dancing and singing joyfully and giving out sweets at the party headquarters office in Royapettah.
They shouted slogans like "Puratchi Thalaivi Amma Vazhga" and "ADMK venruvittathu" [when ADMK got the highest voteshare] as they went around the AIADMK headquarters in 226, Avvai Shanmugham Road, Royapettah.
Many people were dressed up as MGR and Jayalalithaa. A few more people were dressed in the party colours, i.e. red, white and black.
Some people painted themselves in the 3 colours.
The sound of crackers and the shouting went up when the results were announced.
People started jumping up and down like crazy and the scene was also a chaos. Each person in the celebrating crowd had a symbol of either the party or of image of Jayalalitha.
Kandasamy, a supporter of the AIADMK, said,"I have been voting for Amma ever since I could vote. She is the best and will always be there in our hearts."
Gomathi said "During her first year of rule I did not have a house. She was the one who came as the goddess of wealth and helped me in every way she could to buy a house."
