Jaya prefers to stay in house as people suffer: Rahul

Taking on AIADMK supremo Jayalalithaa, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Saturday alleged that she preferred to “stay within four walls” without bothering to visit the people or listen to their grievances during last year’s devastating floods.

Attacking the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister over a host of issues, including unemployment, he alleged that her rule was marked by corruption and that industries had migrated to other states.

Addressing his maiden election rally here for the May 16 Assembly election in Tamil Nadu along with DMK Treasurer M K Stalin, he targeted Jayalalithaa over the unprecedented floods that hit parts of the state, including Chennai, during last monsoon.
