All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam chief Jayalalithaa on Wednesday rubbished reports that her party would have an alliance with the Congress for the coming assembly polls in Tamil Nadu.

Jayalalithaa told reporters that her offer of support to the United Progressive Alliance government during the 2G spectrum scam crisis was not for alliance with the Congress.

Asked why she had started criticising the Centre of late, she said, "The AIADMK has never hesitated to voice its criticism whenever the Central government took any action against public interest."

On the electoral alliance for the assembly polls, she said talks were going on with other parties, but she did not name any party.

During the DMK rule "people have got fed up with the power shortage and the deteriorating law and order," she alleged.

"People want a change and the AIADMK will come to power and will provide economic prosperity to the state," she said.
