Angered by the DMK government’s notice asking to demolish her party’s headquarters in the heart of the city, AIADMK chief and former chief minister J Jayalalitha on Sunday vowed to “wipe out” the ruling party from the political milieu of Tamil Nadu.
Describing the government’s action as a political vendetta, Jayalalitha said in a statement here that Chief Minister M Karunanidhi should realise that he was enjoying power “only on a temporary basis”.
“Power has gone to his head and that is why he is acting in such a manner,” she said.
When she and her mentor M G Ramachandran were the chief ministers of the state, they did not even think of asking the DMK to demolish Anna Arivalayam, the DMK headquarters here, she said.
But Karunanidhi had asked her party to demolish the headquarters without realising that it was a “fort built on the sacrifices of partymen”.
To end the “evil designs” of Karunanidhi, she had taken an oath on Sunday to “wipe the DMK from the political map of the state”, Jayalalitha added.
