The Hindu  

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa on Thursday assured the people living in the vicinity of the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project that her government would act in such a manner as to respect their views on the issue. I do not to wish to make any further comments on this now, because it is a very emotive and controversial issue.” Her remarks came a day after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh sought her help in implementing the project — which is at an advanced stage of construction — while cautioning that abandoning it now would impede the State's development. Asked what would be the State government's next step, Ms. Jayalalithaa said she was yet to receive the Prime Minister's latest letter. Ms. Jayalalithaa said Tamil Nadu became a haven of peace and prosperity after the people gave a clear mandate against the “family rule” of the DMK.
