Chennai: The All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) chief J Jayalalithaa on Saturday once again appealed to her supporters not to take extreme steps in the wake of her sentencing in a graft case, reassuring them that she will come out of “all the challenges" with divine help.

Besides the 193 persons who had died of various reasons, including suicide, apparently upset over her jail term in an illegal assets case, 26 more had died since her last statement on 19 October after coming out on bail, she said and expressed concern over the deaths.

“I am confident that I will come out triumphant crossing all challenges" with divine help, she said in a statement in Chennai.

“Therefore, I kindly request the people of Tamil Nadu not to resort to such extreme measures," she said while announcing relief of Rs3 lakh to the families of the deceased on behalf of her party.

The list of 26 persons was released by the AIADMK headquarters, and it included those who committed suicide as well as those who died of natural causes.

The former chief minister was sentenced to 4 years in the Rs66.65 crore disproportionate assets case by a Bangalore special court on 27 September. She was granted bail by the Supreme Court on 17 October and had returned home the next day
