No chance for DMK to revive Legislative Council: Jayalalithaa

The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) would not return to power in Tamil Nadu again and would not get another opportunity to seek to revive the Legislative Council, Chief Minister Jayalalithaa said in the Assembly on Tuesday.

Replying to a debate on a resolution rescinding an earlier decision of the Assembly calling for the revival of the Upper House of the State legislature, Ms. Jayalalithaa said, “As far as I know, the DMK is the only party which wants to revive the Council. As they are unlikely to return to power, there is no chance that there will be another attempt to bring back the Council.”

“The sun has set and this sun will not rise again,” she said, in a reference to the ‘Rising Sun', the DMK's election symbol.

Jayalalithaa launches new initiatives, scraps old schemes

Cable TV to be nationalised; priority for making State power surplus

CHENNAI: Outlining the new AIADMK government's policies and programmes, Governor Surjit Singh Barnala presented in the Tamil Nadu Assembly on Friday a mix of fresh initiatives and welfare measures and the withdrawal of some of the schemes of the previous DMK regime.

In his maiden address to the 14th Assembly, the Governor announced the government's decision to institute a Commission of Inquiry into alleged irregularities in the construction of the new Secretariat-Assembly complex. It would nationalise private cable television operations without affecting the interest of the last-mile local cable operators and launch free distribution of laptops to students, and electric fans, mixies and wet grinders to women on September 15.

The government would give top priority to make the State power surplus by reforming the energy sector. Efforts would be made for improving efficiency in generation, transmission and distribution. Power theft would be curbed.

Jayalalithaa: Return of the Amma

After a hiatus of five years, one of India's most colourful and controversial politicians, J Jayalalithaa is set to take over the Chief Minister's seat in Tamil Nadu as her party AIADMK swept the state elections, ousting the graft-charge ravaged DMK.

Better known as ‘Amma’, the three-time chief minister’s career has been marked by a series of highs and lows but her rise in Tamil Nadu, a state dominated by backward politics, has been meteoric.

Born on February 24, 1948, in Mysore as Komalavalli in a Tamil Iyengar family, she comes from a Brahmin background and Karnataka - a state engaged in a bitter war over water sharing with Tamil Nadu.

Jayalalithaa chairs Cabinet meet

Chaired by Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, the cabinet is believed to have discussed about the schemes and policies of the new government that would find place in the Governor's address to be delivered in the House on June three.
