See how bold was Jayalalithaa

Message from Amalorpavanathan Joseph - When the draft to start the Transplant Authority of Tamilnadu reached her table she herself wrote her name as Chairperson. Every officer was surprised. No other state in the Country has a transplant programme directly under a Chief Minister and that contributed enormously to our consistent sucess. Such was the importance she attached to transplant. Not once, I repeat not once, have I ever received any phone call for out of allocation from her office. Not even for Vilasrao Deshmukh, a serving Cabinet minister then. I was instructed to just stick to rules. And no one touched me when we stuck to rules.Such was the importance she gave to cadaver transplant that I would work with absolutely no political interference. None would dare interfere. Because everyone knew that she was the chairperson for this organisation.
