Modi attacks AIADMK, DMK

Hitting back at AIADMK supremo Jayalalithaa, BJP Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi today charged the ruling party and its arch-rival DMK with showing no concern about the people and concentrating efforts to settle political scores whenever they were in power.
"Tamil Nadu was divided between AIADMK and DMK and people had no choice beyond them. They waste their time to finish off each other. When AIADMK is in power, it targets DMK and vice-versa. They are not worried about the welfare of the people," he charged at an election rally here.
His sharp attack on AIADMK came hours after Jayalalithaa surprised the saffron party with her first ever barb in her campaign, painting the BJP and Congress with the same brush on the issue of inter-state Cauvery water sharing.

The offensive came amid speculations in the state that Jayalalithaa, who has a good personal rapport with Modi, would be the natural ally of the NDA in the post election scenario and the persistent attack by Congress that AIADMK was the "B Team" of BJP.
Jayalalithaa's soft approach towards the BJP by not talking about it in her electioneering has attracted strong criticism by her political opponents including Congress leader P Chidambaram, who had described AIADMK as the B-Team of BJP.
However, slamming Congress, DMK and BJP for their "betrayal" of the state on the vexed river water dispute, Jayalalithaa today asked the electorate to give a firm drubbing to the candidates of all three parties, saying they should lose deposit.
