In form A and B, where she has to authorise the party candidate, AK Bose, as the AIADMK’s official nominee, Jayalalithaa’s left thumb impression has been affixed for the purpose.
“The signatory (Jayalalithaa) is presently hospitalised in Apollo Hospitals, Greams Road, Chennai. “Since the signatory has undergone Tracheotomy recently and has an inflamed right hand, she is temporarily unable to affix her signature,” the document said.
