I had already declared my assets, says Jaya

• September 6, 2011
• Chief minister J. Jayalalithaa stated that she owns assets worth Rs 51.41 crore and asserted that she had not purchased any property after she became the CM, three months ago.
  “I had already declared my assets in April while submitting my (nomination) papers for the Srirangam Assembly constituency. The media had reported it widely,” she said in response to the asset declaration issue raised in the House on Monday by Republican Party of India leader C.K. Tamilarasan, citing the news report in DC Monday that none of the chief ministers in the state had declared his/her assets.
  “The Deccan Chronicle (news item) referred to by Mr Tamilarasan sought to project that it had unravelled a secret, but there is nothing secretive or hidden about the assets I possess,” she noted.
