Jaya Lalitha replied to the notice sent to her by the Election Commission on Monday that she violated the election code of conduct when she announced the Government schemes at the election campaign for P.Saroja at Yercaud.  

EC sent her notice on the complaint of DMK party’s allegation that the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jaya Lalitha violated the election code of conduct.

Jaya Lalitha explained EC that she did not violate any code of conduct.  She wrote, "It would not be correct to link the unrelated general statement with the requirements which were brought to my notice."

Stating that she did not make any specific promises on any new schemes Jaya Lalitha asked the EC to drop the Charges. "I emphatically deny that I made any specific promise of providing any one of the requirements which were brought to my notice. I repeat that in my speech, I only made a general statement that whatever is required for the progress of the people living in Yercaud constituency will be provided by the government."

As per the notice of the EC, Jaya Lalitha was asked to reply by 5.00 pm today.
