"I urged the Home Minister Amit Shah to allocate more funds to the Puducherry Union territory. Also, I urged him to implement the solar power schemes for all the houses in Puducherry and expand the Puducherry airport, " she said while addressing reporters at Chennai airport after returning from Delhi.

Welcoming actor Vijay into politics, the former BJP functionary said, "I wholeheartedly welcome actor Vijay's entry into politics and congratulate him. India is a democratic country. Like Vijay, many more newcomers should enter politics for a healthy competition."
