Invoking MGR, Jayalalithaa eyes massive win in elections

Exuding confidence about retaining power in the Assembly elections in Tamil Nadu, AIADMK General Secretary and Chief Minister Jayalalithaa asked partymen to hand her an unprecedented victory by starting preparations right away. 

In a message to her supporters on the occasion of MGR’s birth anniversary, Jayalalithaa pointed out that elections were around the corner and that “it is a heartening news” that AIADMK will continue in power under “your beloved sister.” 

“AIADMK should secure a win in the (coming) elections like one not witnessed in the earlier polls; a win that no other political movement in Indian history has secured. Such a victory will add to the fame of Puratchi Thalaivar MGR,” she said. 

Attack on DMK 

Jayalalithaa expressed confidence that the performance of the AIADMK government would ensure such a victory even as she bet on the various pro-people initiatives to see her party through at the hustings. 

Without naming M Karunanidhi or DMK, she said “people will not forgive” them for corruption and family rule. “People are ready to reward us once again with victory and the time has come for you to work towards accepting that,” she said. The AIADMK supremo exhorted her supporters to work hard for a massive victory, and reach every household and explain her government’s achievements in various sectors.
