The All India Anna Dravida Munnnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) made clear its ambition for a larger role in national politics by declaring that it would provide a strong, bold and determined leadership in the country. The party’s election manifesto made several national-level promises and appealed to the people to vote for the ‘Two Leaves’ symbol to “take India forward on the path of peace, prosperity and progress.” Releasing the manifesto, Chief Minister Jayalalithaa said the party had spelt out many policies aimed at the growth of Tamil Nadu and India.
