Shashikala, Jayalalithaa s aide, has completed her sentence and has been released from jail after 4 years.
The temple, which was commissioned by the state Revenue Minister RB Udhayakumar whom Jayalalithaa had first inducted into the cabinet has been constructed on a one-and-a-half-acre plot near the city s T Kallupatti area at a cost of Rs 50 lakh. It contains bronze statues of the two leaders.
