Chief Minister and AIADMK general secretary Jayalalithaa on Monday said that the DMK was indulging in false propaganda as it was certain of defeat in the forthcoming Assembly Elections.
Addressing an election meeting near Wallajahbad in Kancheepuram district and introducing 18 AIADMK candidates for constituencies coming under Kancheepuram, Tiruvallur and Tiruvannamalai districts, she said the DMK was using its family-controlled electronic media to spread false propaganda claiming that government had failed to fulfil its 2011 poll promises.
The AIADMK had promised patta for three cents and green houses to deserving families. In the past five years, 11.49 lakh pattas have been issued and three lakh green houses have been constructed and handed over to the beneficiaries, she said.
While the present government had fulfilled the assurances listed in the 2011 election manifesto, she said that the DMK on the contrary has repeated certain assurances in its current manifesto from that of the manifesto in 2006.
Issuance of two acres of land to landless farmers, reducing the minimum distance from the riverbed to obtain free electricity connection for agriculture pumpsets, wasteland development programme and other assurances by the DMK were not implemented, she charged.
Mullaperiyar issue
On the Mullaperiyar issue, Ms. Jayalalithaa said while her government was striving hard to ensure that water level of the dam be increased to its full capacity of 152 feet.
But the DMK in its election manifesto had said that it would continue to urge the Centre to ensure effective implementation of the SC order to raise water level to 142 feet, she said, ridiculing the rival party’s stand.
