Happy Amma Day: What Twitter Had To Say On #JayaVerdict

New Delhi: J Jayalalithaa may have just racked up the mother of all comebacks.

The leader of the AIADMK was acquitted today in a corruption case dating back to her first term as Chief Minister in the late 90s. As fans and supporters burst into a frenzy of joy, #JayaVerdict was trending.

The 67-year-old politician is called "Amma" (mother) by her devoted supporters.

Many on Twitter today declared it "Happy Amma Day" -an extension of yesterday's Mother's Day. Here are some of the tweets:
 

Mother's Day celebrations continue. Amma acquitted. #JayaVerdict

Today's acquittal entitles Jayalalithaa to return as Chief Minister- she was obliged to step down in September after being found guilty of corruption by a Bangalore court which also sentenced her to four years in jail.

She appealed against that verdict and has won.

Former top cop and BJP leader Kiran Bedi wasn't too happy.
