Things desired by workers will happen at the right time: Jaya

Ahead of the May 22 meeting of party legislators where AIADMK supremo Jayalalithaa is expected to be elected their leader paving the way for her return as the Chief Minister, she said on Monday that things desired by her workers will happen at the right time and that “nobody can stop” it.

Responding to the alleged suicide by a party functionary reportedly miffed over <g data-gr-id="18">delay</g> in her return as CM, Jayalalithaa appealed to her supporters not to put her to grief by resorting to such extreme steps. She said her political enemies were creating falsehoods “unable to bear our (AIADMK) rise”. “Those who have tried to defeat me have never succeeded. Rumours are being spread by them with an intention to ensure their political survival,” she said, days after her acquittal in the disproportionate assets case.

She asked her party workers to ignore rumours and insisted that AIADMK walked a path of discipline and planned strategies. Cadres should not mistake these tactical measures based on discipline and legal guidelines and make decisions in haste, she said. “Those things desired by my dear party siblings will happen at the right time. Nobody can stop this. So there is no need for concern,” she said.
