Ramamurthy said Jayalalitha had a real grievance as she had voluntarily asked R Muthiah to resign in the wake of a special court framing charges against him in a corruption case and expected that the same yardstick would be followed in the case of two or three Central ministers ``who fall in this category''. He did not not name them.

Ramamurthy said those aggrieved by the statement of Jayalalitha naturally have come out against her ``out of desperation''.

``My humble suggestion to them is let these ministers shut their mouth and let the leaders of coalition parties talk the matter over and thrash out issues,'' he said. Meanwhile, Jayalalitha got support for her demand from unexpected quarters when former Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh said all chargesheeted Central ministers shouldresign. Without naming Sukh Ram, a minister in the BJP-led government in his state, Singh demanded that chargesheeted ministers in Himachal Pradesh should also resign or be removed.
