Chief Minister and AIADMK general secretary Jayalalithaa on Friday urged her party cadre to work towards achieving a “massive victory” in the Assembly elections.
“It should be the greatest victory the AIADMK has achieved ever and that will be the fitting tribute the party could pay to its founder MGR,” Ms. Jayalalithaa, in a message, told her cadre as they celebrate the party’s 44{+t}{+h}Founding Day.
“Work with victory as our only goal,” she told partymen as Tamil Nadu braces up for yet another of its “high-decibel” and “highly unpredictable” Assembly elections scheduled next May for which the political parties have already begun the ground work with the Opposition leaders criss-crossing the State to garner public support.
“I have no personal life or expectations. I have dedicated my life to the party and the people. Every minute, I think of the party and the duty it has to perform to the people of Tamil Nadu,” Ms. Jayalalithaa said.
She considered it a “divine calling” to work for the progress of Tamil Nadu and the happiness of its people, Ms. Jayalalithaa said. Emphasising that the party has the responsibility to notch up many more political victories, she told the cadre to begin work on the founding day itself to achieve the “grandest victory” of all in the next Assembly elections.
It was with immense satisfaction the party was celebrating the founding day that comes in the back of the successful Global Investors Meet in which the State had attracted Rs 2.42 lakh crore worth investment that would create employment to lakhs of youth.
“Peoples’ movement”
Ms. Jayalalithaa said she was steering the party as a “peoples’ movement” with grit and determination overcoming challenges and conspiracies hatched by political opponents to destroy the party.
