Jayalalithaa goes all guns blazing for 40 seats

The Chief Minister is also banking on her price-controlling measures such as providing subsidised rice besides the free rice scheme, while listing out the industrialisation and power generation efforts, blaming the DMK for the state's power shortage.

Every time she takes a dig at DMK, she asks the crowd if it will vote out the DMK that had ‘betrayed' Tamil Nadu on various issues and receives an emphatic “we will.”

Incidentally, the AIADMK manifesto had already promised steps to expand certain freebie schemes to the national level if it had a firm say in the next government. 

Deriding the Congress-led UPA for its ‘failures' in various sectors, including the Defence, Economy and national security, in the process questioning DMK's role in bringing welfare measures to Tamil Nadu, the Chief Minister has however spared BJP or its Prime Ministerial nominee Narendra Modi.
