Chennai, Oct 16: Charging the opposition with attempting to destabilise her government, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa today said the AIADMK government would continue to implement the welfare schemes to make the state "strong". In an epistle to her partymen on the occasion of the party's 22nd foundation anniversary, which falls tomorrow, Jayalalaithaa hit out at the opposition parties, saying such "evil forces will not succeed".
"Some, who do not have any hold among their partymen, wanted to catch the eye of the party high command by staging a drama", she said in an apparent reference to the attack on the Congress MP Mani Shankar Aiyar. "Another party, with jealous on us, is attempting to enact a drama to get us destablised," she said adding that "such evil forces" would not succeed.
"We will thwart all such attempts and dedicate ourselves to the service of the people", she said and asked her partymen to take a pledge to work for the people's welfare.
Claiming that the AIADMK was the "true legacy" of the Dravidian movement, she said when the party was formed by late M G Ramachandran in 1972, nobody recognised it as a political party. "But today we have grown up and will decide the future course of Indian politics," she said. Bureau Report
