"There is no party parallel to AIADMK in giving opportunities for dedicated workers at the appropriate time," she told the new entrants. The party would be a great political training ground for them, she added.
Without naming Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, she said, "You would have read in newspapers that a state in north India has taken steps to launch canteens on the lines of Amma Unavagam."
She said such welfare initiatives of her government were being discussed all over the country and being emulated in other parts of the country as well as in other countries.
