Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa Wednesday urged her AIADMK party to comprehensively defeat the DMK in the 2014 general election.
In a letter to party cadres on the occasion of the 42nd anniversary of AIADMK, Jayalalithaa said: "We should take a vow to permanently defeat the DMK led by M. Karunanidhi."
