document: Root out family-centred government , says Jayalalithaa The Assembly election has given a golden opportunity for the people of Tamil Nadu to root out the '' `` family-centred '' '' and '' `` corrupt '' '' government in the State , All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam general secretary Jayalalithaa has said . Campaigning in the southern districts of Madurai , Tirunelveli and Tuticorin on Sunday , she asked the voters to create history by making the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam-led combine lose deposits in all constituencies , thus creating a Guinness record . If the AIADMK was voted to power , Katchatheevu would be retrieved from Sri Lanka , she said addressing a meeting at Tuticorin early in the day . Enhanced social security for fishermen and farmers , road-over bridges , cold storage facilities and mechanised equipment for fishermen and an assistance of Rs .2,000 each during the 45-day fishing ban , industrial developments in Srivaikuntam and Tiruchendur were some of the promises made by Ms. Jayalaithaa . She also announced that nursing educational institutes would be set up in Tiruchendur and Nazareth . Later campaigning at Ambasamudram in Tirunelveli district , she said all welfare schemes introduced by the DMK regime were launched with an ulterior motive of ensuring substantial and constant revenue to the family of Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi . '' `` A classic example is the distribution of free colour televisions , through which the family of Mr. Karunanidhi is getting annually a minimum of Rs .1,000 from each family through the cable connection , ensuring whopping and regular revenue , '' '' she said . The former Chief Minister said Mr. Karunanidhi , who managed to get ministerial berth in the Union government on a couple of occasions and ruled Tamil Nadu five times , had made his family the richest in Asia . His grandson Kalanithi Maran had been listed by leading magazine Forbes as 310th richest person in the world . '' `` If we can add together the holdings of Mr. Karunanidhi 's , wives , sons , daughters , grandsons and granddaughters , no doubt , his family will be the richest in the world . Now you can understand as to why the State of Tamil Nadu has been entangled in the debt trap of over Rs .1 lakh crore , '' '' Ms. Jayalalithaa asked . She promised to desilt Kannadian , Nadhiyunni , South Kodaimelazhagiyaan and North Kodaimelazhagiyaan irrigation channels and erect barbed wire fence along the hamlets close to Western Ghats to prevent wild animal invasion into cultivated lands . In Madurai Addressing an election meeting at Kalavasal junction in Madurai seeking votes for the candidates of AIADMK-led alliance , she likened the polls to a '' `` second '' '' independence struggle to safeguard the State . Ms. Jayalalithaa said that under her rule Tamil Nadu was leading in economic growth and the law and order was maintained . But the State become backward under the DMK regime . '' `` Are the people of the State not working hard ? Do they not have the habit of saving and do they not lead a thrift lifestyle . This is because the welfare schemes were formulated to further the interest of one family , '' '' she said . She said that the DMK-led government had failed on many fronts . Power cuts , spiralling price of essential commodities , deteriorating law and order situation , corruption and rice smuggling have hit people hard . . It was high time that this government was thrown out , she added . Security to Alagiri Referring to the alleged assault on government employees in Melur , Ms. Jayalalithaa said , '' `` Mr. Karunanidhi , was complaining about '' `` total '' '' withdrawal of police security to Union Minister , M.K. Alagiri . '' `` Why does he need police protection ? There is no threat to him from the people . But , only the people face a threat from him , '' '' she said . Ms. Jayalalithaa said those involved in the murder of former DMK Minister , Tha . Kiruttinan , and in the burning of the office of Tamil Daily Dinakaran in Madurai in which three people were killed , were not punished . All those involved would be brought before the law and punished , if the AIADMK is voted to power , she added . '' `` The rule of law will be upheld when AIADMK comes back to power , '' '' she said , adding that police would be allowed to function independently . '' `` Rowdyism will be curbed with iron hand and Madurai would be converted into a spiritual and tourist spot , '' '' Ms. Jayalalithaa said .
