While her rival party candidates were busy campaigning across the State, AIADMK general secretary and Chief Minister Jayalalithaa, who had completed her campaign on Thursday, wrote a letter to her partymen asking them to be alert at the time of polling and counting to prevent any kind of malpractices by the opposition parties.

Several lakh of people had attended her public meetings and road-side campaign meetings in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry and judging by the overwhelming response, Ms. Jayalalithaa said she was confident that the AIADMK would accomplish a historic victory in the Assembly elections.

In her statement to the cadre on the concluding day of the campaign, the AIADMK leader asked partymen to work hard for the victory of ‘two leaves’ in all the 234 constituencies in Tamil Nadu and 30 in Puducherry in order to implement all the promises in the party manifesto in the fields of agriculture, education, women and minority welfare.

Recalling the “misdeeds” of the DMK and its first family during 2006-2011, she claimed credit for cleaning up the State from the anti-people forces, restoring law and order and providing surplus power.

Engaged in continuous political battles to safeguard the rights of the people of Tamil Nadu, Ms. Jayalalithaa said she went to the Supreme Court to obtain favourable orders in issues relating to the Cauvery river water dispute and Mulla Periyar dam, safeguarding the interests of the State.
