2014 polls will give Indians second independence: Jayalalithaa

Listing price rise, rupee devaluation, unemployment and stagnation in agriculture as the faults of the central government, Jayalalithaa said corruption levels had touched new heights under the present regime.

Referring to the 2010 Commonwealth Games scam, the chief minister said the Congress government had played dirty even in sports.

On a day (Tuesday) when the Sri Lankan Navy arrested 32 Indian fishermen hailing from Tamil Nadu, Jayalalithaa said: "The predominant problem before the state is the Sri Lankan attacks on fishermen."

"If this has to change, a strong government at the centre should be there. That will be possible only when you vote for the AIADMK so all its candidates win in the polls," Jayalalithaa added.

She said for the past 10 years, people have been suffering from price rise, inflation and rupee devaluation due to the wrong economic policies followed by the centre.
