With the AIADMK's J. Jayalalithaa set to become Tamil Nadu's chief minister for a third time, it will be interesting to see where will she start functioning — the new Assembly complex or the old one at Fort St. George.
The new assembly complex is the dream project of outgoing chief minister M. Karunanidhi, involving an outlay of around Rs.900 crores. Jayalalithaa had expressed her opposition to the project and had even termed the new secretariat a "circus tent".
Jayalalithaa has not attended even one Assembly session in the new complex. AIADMK leaders had said that they would revert to Fort St.George once they come back to power. It will be interesting to see whether Jayalalithaa would go back to the old secretariat or accept the new building.
