After meeting the Governor, the AIADMK chief said her immediate priorities as Chief Minister would be to restore law and order and economy of the state “which has derailed” and control prices.
Jayalalilthaa, who had earlier ruled the state in 1991-96 and 2001-06, said, “My first priority will be to restore law and order. The state’s economy has been totally derailed and there has been a lot of regression during the last five years.
“It is almost like having gone back to dark ages,” she said, adding the state had to be brought back to the path of growth, development and prosperity.
She assured people that they need not worry about their safety and security, promising that law and order would be strictly followed.
