The party also resolved to whatever was necessary so that Jayalalithaa is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and the Ramon Magsaysay award for implementing various welfare schemes.
The party passed a resolution to this effect at his general council meeting held in Chennai.
According to the resolution Jayalalithaa had always called herself a farmer and has implemented several welfare schemes for the farmers as the state chief minister.
The birthday of late Prime Minister Chaudhary Charan Singh - December 23 - is commemorated as Kisan Divas or Farmer's Day.
