I will come back: Jaya

(March 06, Chennai, Sri Lanka Guardian) Launching a blistering attack on Chief Minister M Karunanidhi, AIADMK general secretary J Jayalalithaa today said she would come to power soon, much against the dreams of the octogenarian DMK Chief.

In a statement here, she said people of Tamilnadu were getting ready to give permanent retirement to the Chief Minister, thanks to his selfishness in various issues, thus putting aside the welfare of the State.

‘Karunanidhi has said he he was penning his thoughts from the age of 13. But the people are thinking otherwise. They feel that he is corrupting the State for many decades,’ she said. Stating that the Chief Minister and his family members were now the owners of thousands of crores of rupees, Jayalalithaa said he had cheated the people of Tamilnadu in many ways.

Recalling various allegations on Karunanidhi from 1976, the former Chief Minister said in her statement: ‘Power cuts, price rise, unemployment, economic slowdown and criminal activities had affected and irked the people of Tamilnadu.

They have now decided to give permanent retirment to Karunanidhi.’It is to be noted that Karunanidhi, while reacting to Jayalalithaa’s recent ‘advice’ to him to seek a permanent retirement from politics, said yesterday that the AIADMK leader could never dream of taking over the reins of the State.

After entering public life at the age of 13 years, he had been writing in all forms of literature, poems, film scripts, epistles and political commentaries, and working tirelessly for the people of Tamilnadu in his 70-year-long public life, the octogenarian Chief Minister said.

Having celebrated golden jubilee in the State assembly, he continued to work for the people, he said and listed the number of welfare schemes he had unveiled during his five stints as Chief Minister. He would be too happy to leave behind his achievements to the State and retire.

But he was reluctant because Jayalalithaa would take over and wipe out all his achievements. ‘Jayalalithaa’s dream of staging a come back and her desire to take over the State would burst like a bubble,’ he said. -Sri Lanka Guardian
