AIADMK will capture power in next polls: Jaya

Erode (TN), April 01: Shrugging off the series of electoral reverses, AIADMK chief Jayalalithaa today asserted her party would bounce back and capture power in the next year Assembly elections.

Putting up a brave front days after her party lost deposit in the March 27 Pennagaram byelection, she said AIADMK had faced similar situations even during the period of its founder M G Ramachandran. But not disheartened by it, he strove hard to bring the party back to power.

Speaking to reporters here after visiting a party worker who attempted self-immolation reportedly upset over the Pennagaram bypoll outcome, she said even the ruling DMK had lost deposit in the 2001 election from the same constituency.

“The AIADMK cadre should not resort to such suicide attempts.
