[edit] Early Political Career

Jayalalithaa was brought into politics by a former Tamil movie star and state chief minister, M.G. Ramachandran, with whom she starred in many of her films.[18]

Jayalalithaa entered Politics and became a Member in AIADMK, in 1982.[19]

Jayalalithaa's involvement in politics grew from her association with M. G. Ramachandran, who had founded the AIADMK and was Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu as well as an actor, In 1983 he made Jayalalithaa the party's Propaganda Secretary.
In February 1983, she was chosen by Dr. M.G.R. to conduct her maiden election campaign for the AIADMK candidate in the bye-election to the Tiruchendur Assembly Constitutency.[20]

[edit] Career in the Rajya Sabha

M. G. Ramachandran keened to send Jayalalithaa to Rajya Sabha,because of Jayalalithaa's polish and fluency in English.[21] So Jayalalithaa was nominated to the Rajya Sabha in 1984 and she was elected as a Member of Parliament to the Rajya Sabha, retained the seat until 1989.[22].Her maiden speech made was appreciated by the former prime minister Indira Gandhi[23]

[edit] Rift with M.G.Ramachandan

As propaganda secretary, Jayalalithaa became the successful Leader in AIADMK. Seniors in the party didn’t like this,So they made rift between jayalalithaa and MGR.It is alleged that MGR had stopped Jayalalithaa's writing about her personal life in a Tamil magazine.In 1986 But the cadres loved her.[24]

MGR also had reasons to be suspicious. In late 1984 when he was hospitalised in the US following a stroke, Jayalalitha was convinced that she should take over the reins. She approached the then prime minister, Rajiv Gandhi, and governor S.L. Khurana to appoint her chief minister since she felt that MGR’s health would not permit him to discharge his duties.[25]

MGR stripped her of the deputy leadership of the parliamentary party. In an interview to Savvy magazine, jayalalithaa spoke against the decision:

"MGR has been a great influence in my life, I don’t deny that. But now I am my own person. I have evolved. Hereafter, I am responsible only for myself. Never again will anybody influence me to such an extent that all my thoughts and actions and statements are influenced and made in a particular way just because someone else wants it that way."[26]

[edit] After Demise of M.G.Ramachandran

After MGR's death, In 1988 AIADMK splits into two factions. One backs MGR's widow Janaki Ramachandran and the other, Jayalalithaa elected MLA.[27], his wife Janaki Ramachandran took over as Chief Minster. She lasted less than a month in power. The Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (ADMK) split into two factions, one led by Janaki and the other by J. Jayalalithaa. The undivided ADMK legislature party had a strength of 132 including the Speaker P. H. Pandian. 97 of them supported the Janaki faction while 33 backed the Jayalalithaa group. Speaker Pandian was a supporter of Janaki. He did not recognize the Jayalalithaa group as a separate party. On 28 January 1988, Janaki sought a vote of confidence in the Assembly The Jayalalitha group abstained from the assembly and Pandian disqualified all of them. Earlier in December 1986, 10 MLAs of the DMK had been expelled from the Assembly for their participation in the anti-Hindi agitation of 1986, bringing down the strength of the house to 224. The disqualification of the 33 MLAs of the Jayalalitha group further reduced the assembly's strength to 191. This enabled Janaki to win the vote of confidence with the support of only 99 members (with 8 opposing votes and 3 neutrals). Other opposition parties boycotted the vote - only 111 members were present during the motion.Though she won the vote of confidence, her government was dismissed by prime minister Rajiv Gandhi on 30 January citing the disruptions in the assembly. After a year of President's rule, elections were again held in January 1989. Both the ADMK factions claimed to be the official ADMK and requested the election commission to grant the "two leaves" symbol of the ADMK to them. However, the election commission refused to recognize either of them as the official ADMK and temporarily froze the "two leaves" symbol. Instead it awarded the "cock" symbol to the Jayalalitha faction (ADMK(JL)), while the Janaki faction (ADMK(JR)) was given the "two doves" symbol.

[edit] Prominence in State Politics

[edit] Leader Of Opposition:In 1989

She was elected to the Tamil Nadu legislative assembly in 1989 from Bodinayakkanur (State Assembly Constituency).In the Election AIADMK contested in two fraction. Jayalalithaa led fraction won 27 seats and Jayalalithaa became the first woman to be elected Leader of the Opposition.In 1989 her saree was pulled in the assembly by DMK minister Duraimurugan and another DMK Minister Veerapandi Arumugam hit her forehead with a mike.After that event,Jayalalithaa claimed Karunanidhi had no moral right to be CM and Jayalalithaa vowed that she would re-enter the assembly only as chief minister. This incident is the root cause of her hatred for Karunanidhi. [28][29]

[edit] First Term as Chief Minister:In 1991

In 1991, following the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi just days before the elections, her alliance with the [[Indian National Congress] enabled her to ride the wave of sympathy that gave the coalition victory. Re-elected to the assembly, she became the first elected female chief minister and the youngest ever chief minister of Tamil Nadu, serving the full tenure from 24 June 1991 to 12 May 1996. Janaki Ramachandran had technically been the first female chief minister following her husband's death, but she was unelected.

AIADMK was reunited and regained its popular "Two Leaves" symbol of the ADMK. (The Election Commission of India had frozen the symbol for the 1989 elections due to the split).

[edit] Disastrous set back:In 1996

The J.Jayalalitha led AIADMK had faced a Big set back in 1996 elections.They won only 4 seats out of 168 seats they contested.jayalalithaa had also been defeated by DMK candidate in Bargur Consituency. Due to an anti-incumbency wave, and several allegations of corruption and malfeasance against her,her ministers and Lavish wedding for Jayalalitha's foster son Sudhakaran. she lost power to the D.M.K in 1996, in a landslide defeat. All the ministers in her erstwhile cabinet, including her, were defeated in the elections and six of them lost their deposits, meaning that they did not even secure the minimum number of votes expected of them.

[edit] Second Term as Chief Minister:In 2001

Jayalalitha filed her nominations from four constituencies Krishnagiri, Andipatti, Bhuvanagiri and Pudukottai. The Returning Officers rejected her nominations on two grounds.a specially designated court convicted her of criminal breach of trust and of illegally acquiring governmental property belonging to TANSI, a state-run agency. She was sentenced to five years' imprisonment but appealed to the Supreme Court of India. As the conviction stood until the outcome of the appeal was decided, she was disqualified from contesting the 2001 elections.[30]

Even though the Further Controversies AIADMK won majority seats and Jayalalithaa was installed as Chief Minister as a non-elected member of the state assembly in 14 may 2001.[31]

On 21 September 2001, the Supreme Court ruled that "a person who is convicted of a criminal offence and sentenced to imprisonment for a period of not less than two years cannot be appointed the Chief Minister of a State under Article 164 (1) read with (4) and cannot continue to function as such". Thereby, the bench decided that "in the appointment of Ms. Jayalalithaa as Chief Minister there has been a clear infringement of a Constitutional provision and that a writ of quo warranto must issue".[32] Therefore, technically, she was not the Chief Minister in the period between May 14, 2001 and September 21, 2001. After her resignation on September 21, 2001.

[edit] O.Panneer Selvam as a Interim

O. Panneerselvam, a minister in her party, was subsequently installed as the Chief Minister. However, his government was purported to have been puppeted and micro-managed by Jayalalithaa [33]

[edit] Sworn in again:In 2002

Jayalalithaa again became Chief Minister in March 2002 once the Madras High Court had acquitted her in a couple of cases.[34]This cleared the way for her to contest a mid-term poll to the Andipatti constituency, after the elected representative for the seat, gave up his membership. Winning the election by a handsome margin, In 2002 March Jayalalithaa took over the Chief Ministership again.

[edit] Third term as Chief Minister:In 2011

In April 2011 the AIADMK was part of a 13-party alliance that successfully won the 14th state assembly elections. Jayalalitha was sworn in as the chief minister of Tamil Nadu for the third time on 16 May 2011, having been elected unanimously as the leader of the AIADMK party subsequent to those elections.[35]

On 19 December, 2011, Jayalalithaa expelled her long time close aide Sasikala Natarajan and 13 others and relieved them from the AIADMK. Sasikala has been a close confidante of Jayalalithaa for several years now. A former video parlour operator, Sasikala quickly became close to the AIADMK supremo in the '90s. Most of the party members have welcomed her decision.[36]
