AIADMK supremo and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa on Friday sought to strike an emotional chord with the voters of her RK Nagar constituency, saying they “are my breath”, and sought a successive term to serve them after the coming elections.
She described herself as the people’s “beloved sister” and sought a mandate bigger than the last one – during the by-poll post her acquittal in a disproportionate assets case by Karnataka High Court.
“You are my breath. Give me a chance to serve you again. Vote for (AIADMK’s symbol) two leaves and hand me a grand victory,” she said.
The Chief Minister said she had been earlier elected by the people to defeat “adharma, opportunism,” and asked them to repeat the same.
During the floods of November-December last year, she had visited the constituency and directed speedy relief work, she recalled.
As many as 97,000 families were provided with ₹48 crore worth of assistance, Jayalalithaa said.
