CHENNAI: High on Amma love, an AIADMK MLA feels that US Democrat Hillary Clinton decided to run for US presidential elections after being inspired by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa. Coonoor MLA A Ramu said the decision was the outcome of a meeting between the two on July 11 when she as US Secretary of State visited the country.
Ramu said, "Today, the world is celebrating this meeting for its historical importance. Through this meeting, Hillary Clinton understood Amma's personality and was awestruck by her proficiency in English and her encouragement. Finally, accepting the assuring words of Respected Amma, an overwhelmed US Secretary of State went back to become the presidential candidate. I would like to record that the reason for this is Respected Amma."
He added, "When Hillary Clinton met Amma, she was influenced by her leadership qualities and achievements and that inspired her to contest US presidential polls. Only after the meeting, did Hillary Clinton decide to take a significant step forward." AIADMK ministers are known for their outlandish love for their Amma, and this is not the first time a party member gave such statements. Ramu who joined AIADMK recently, which according to his political rivals, was why he had to outdo other loyalists by trying to please Amma with such outlandish claims.
