AIADMK manifesto is full of lies: Alagiri

Madurai, March 25: Terming the AIADMK manifesto as one full of ‘lies’, Union Chemicals and Fertiliser Minister and DMK leader M K Alagiri said it only reflected party leader Jayalalithaa’s fear of defeat in the April 13 assembly elections.

“The AIADMK manifesto is a manifesto full of lies. Earlier Jayalalithaa had suspended several welfare schemes of DMK leader M Karunanidhi (his father),including wedding assistance scheme. Now she has promised she will give Rs 30,000 and gold.She will neither win elections nor give gold ” Alagiri said at an election meeting here.

Well known actress Khushboo, who also spoke, described the AIADMK manifesto as a copy of that of DMK. She suggested that Jayalalithaa, instead of resorting to such tactics, copy his good character, like respect for other leaders.
