  When Tamil Nadu chief minister M.G.Ramachandran (MGR) died on December 24,1987, Jayalalitha stood mournfully by his body for 21 hours. In an interview to India Today in 1988, she said: "When Anna died, MGR was the treasurer of DMK, number four in the party. Now without MGR, as party propaganda secretary, I'm number five."
