The final battle for her life lasted for 30 hours.

The chaos and confusion around Jayalalitha’s life had started with the inauguration of the Adani solar power plant in Tamil Nadu.

On September 21, 2016, late evening, Jayalalitha left the secretariat for home for good. That was her last moment in public service. On that day, Jayalalitha had been active and had no sign or symptom to die soon. With that health, Jayalalitha would have lived for ten more years with or without wheel chair.

On September 22, 2016, Jayalalitha didn’t go to work and stayed back home. The Central Home Ministry withdrew the Black Cat security forces. The whole day, Jayalalitha and Sasikala got into a series of arguments.
