Tamil Nadu. covering the entire state seeking votes for her party's candidates
in all 39 constituencies.
Amma kicked off her campaign in the temple
town of Kanchipuram on March 3 when leaders of other political parties were

helicopter hops to campaign venues and her refrain at the end of each rally
'Seiveergala Seiveergala' to the audience (will you vote as I urged you)
attracted attendion. Her election meetings also drew huge crowds, reportedly.

sense a strong support wave to our leader and the candidates named by her' an
AIADMK functionary claimed.Lambasting the Congress for having done little for
Tamil Nadu during two terms of UPA and then the BJP even as her 'good friend'
and BJP Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi was himslef campaigning in
Tamil Nadu, Ms Jayalalithaa sought to win the confidence of voters by promsing
them more develoment schemes, in every constituency she campaigned. The main
point of her election addresses was,,though, polinting out the alleged
corruption indulged in by union cabinet minisers in UPA government from Tamil
Nadu representing her archrival DMK. She also fired sharp salvos against DMK
supemo M Karunanidhi, who also pointed out the alleged non--performance of the
ruling AIADMK government in Tamil Nadu. Her sharp attacks were beefed up by
statistics and proof. She urged the voters to think well on whom to vote.

Ms Jayalalitghaa's criticism of Congress and later BJP which she criticised by
charging Gujarat develoment (under Mr Modi) was just a myth, was omters[ersed
with highlights of the achievements of her three-year-old governemnt in the
state.
