Insults: In 1987, Supporters of MGR's Wife Janaki didn't allow Jayalalithaa to stand beside the mortal remains of then CM. When she became an Opposition Leader in 1989, DMK MLAs pulled her saree in the Assembly. She vowed to enter House again only after becoming CM and fulfilled it in 1991.

Jail for Karunanidhi: Jayalalithaa was arrested and sent to prison for alleged corruption. She then pledged to send her opponents to the same jail. When she came to power in 2001, She made the cops arrest Karunanidhi at midnight and sent him to the same prison cell where she stayed.

Use Words Wisely: In 2011, Then Assembly Speaker D Jayakumar jokingly said he is No.2 in AIADMK after Jayalalithaa. Very soon, He lost the Speaker Post and his prominence in the party has been reduced. As he still remained loyal, He was inducted into cabinet in 2016.

The role of Gold: IT Officials recovered gold from Jayalalithaa residence after the raids. DMK alleged that she received gold in the form of gifts. Then, Jaya promised not to wear gold again until she gets a clean chit.

What happened to Subhakaran?: Jayalalithaa adopted Sasikala's nephew Sudhakaran and performed his marriage ceremony in a grand level. She, however, issued a press release disowning Sudhakaran later because of his interference in party affairs.
