Achievements

Relocation of assembly building

In one of the first actions following her re-election as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Jayalaitha proceeded to relocate the assembly and secretariat from the newly constructed building back to Fort St. George. The assembly building was constructed during M. Karunanidhi's tenure and costed over 1000 crores of rupees. This move was opposed by Pattali Makkal Katchi, Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and Dravidar Kazhagam. A public interest litigation has been filed in Chennai high court by lawyer G. Krishnamoorthy alleging that the relocation was against public interest and unmindful of the large amount of tax money used for the construction of the new building.

Amma Unavagam
