Chennai:
On the eve of Assembly polls in Tamil Nadu, arch rivals Jayalalithaa and Karunanidhi accused each other of planning violence on polling day.
"According to reliable sources, Karunanidhi has planned to unleash violence in constituencies favourable for AIADMK," Jayalalithaa said about the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister. "The Election Commission ought to be vigilant and handle this with an iron hand," she added.
DMK chief Karunanidhi in turn said "the fear of defeat has gripped Jayalalithaa's cadres. It's an attempt to instigate violence." Lashing out at the AIADMK chief, he added that she "does not seem to have any concern for peaceful polls in Tamil Nadu."
The run-up to the polling day saw top leaders indulging ugly war of words. The Election Commission (EC) had recently issued a notice to Tamil Nadu Deputy Chief Minister MK Stalin for allegedly making personal attacks on AIADMK supremo Jayalalithaa.
