New Delhi: The vendetta politics between DMK and AIADMK has reached new heights.
On Thursday, the DMK leadership accused AIADMK chief Jayalalithaa of "instigating" her party men to organise protests against Chief Minister M Karunanidhi to "sidetrack" attention from the Kodanadu tea estate issue.
Jayalalithaa allegedly failed to declare her assets in the Kodanadu tea estate in Niligiris district in her election affidavit filed during the May 2006 Andipatti Assembly election.
The DMK has picked on the issue and has said that she could be disqualified from her Assembly membership because of this.
However, Tamil Nadu's favourite "amma" assured her followers that she had not violated the law while filing her papers and that she could not be disqualified from the Assembly.
In a statement released in Chennai, she said nobody could disqualify or bar her from contesting future polls.
"These are all Karunanidhi's wishful dream. But that will not come true," she was quoted by news agency PTI as saying.
Asking party cadres not to get confused over the false propaganda launched by Karunanidhi, the AIADMK supremo further said, "He (Karunanidhi) has been raising several questions on the estate issue. He does not have any right to question me. I am not obliged to reply to his charges."
Jayalalithaa was further quoted as saying that she would reply to questions if asked by those who had rights to raise them. She also alleged that Karunanidhi had totally forgotten the administration of the state and was only concentrating on making frivolous charges against her.
