"Our Amma is well and she will come back for us. She is our mother, our leader. No harm can come to her", said a Jayalalithaa supporter outside the hospital. "We pray for her. We stand by her. She can't leave us. She will come back. Our Amma is fine. She will be alright by morning", said another.

Tearing men and women, chanting prayers for Jayalalithaa's well being have become common sight outside Apollo hospital. Emotions rode high outside the hospital as joy turned into anxiety within a matter of hours for AIADMK supporters. Even as supporters are rejecting the possibilities of the leader being in a critical condition, fear of the worse grips them.
