AIADMK general secretary Jayalalithaa on Monday called upon her party cadres “to create a new history” by ensuring the defeat of Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi in his own constituency in the Assembly election.
“Mr. Karunanidhi has been saying he has never lost an election. He must face defeat this time. He must bite the dust. It will be a permanent victory for the AIADMK and there will be no fall for us,” she said presiding over 63 marriages organised by Jayalalithaa Peravai in Chennai as part of her 63rd birthday celebrations.
Golden period
Stating that the AIADMK and Tamil Nadu were on the verge of entering a golden period, she said if Mr. Karunanidhi was defeated in the elections, the darkness engulfing Tamil Nadu would disappear.
Ms. Jayalalithaa said corruption, hoarding and smuggling had become rampant in the country and everyday there was news about how one family had enriched itself.
“Even before we could understand the gravity of the Rs. 1.76 lakh crore 2 G spectrum scam, a scam to the tune of Rs. 2 lakh crore has unfolded. One party has made use of one ministry and made such a huge money. This money had been stashed away in foreign banks in the name of one family,” she added.
Ms. Jayalalithaa said the country would have been benefitted if the money was used for opening schools and hospitals and for the development of industry and agriculture.
Stressing that Tamil Nadu could be saved from the “evil forces” only by establishing MGR rule, she said the AIADMK had the responsibility and duty to save the country.
Prepare for sacrifice
“We should destroy the evil force in Tamil Nadu and the victory will save the country because Tamil Nadu is the birth place of that evil force,” she said.
Ms. Jayalalithaa said the AIADMK, committed to the ideals of honesty, dharma and patriotism, could certainly challenge misuse of power by the “evil force” and its “money power and muscle power.” She also called upon the cadres to prepare themselves for any sacrifice to defeat the designs of the “evil force.”
“Everyone in Tamil Nadu should cooperate for releasing the State from the clutches of the evil force,” she said.
Gifts to couples
Ms. Jayalalithaa also gave 63 types of gifts (seethanam) to the newly wed couples.
Jayalalithaa Peravai secretary Nainar Nagendran and Party MP N. Balaganga were present.
