"Puratchi Thalaivi Amma gives 29-point memoradum to PM, Resume Jallikattu, prevent Karnataka from building dam across Mekedatu," the AIADMK said in a series of tweets.

This is Jayalalithaa's first visit to the national capital after assuming the office for a second consecutive term. The Chief Minister will be returning to Chennai today.
