Jayalalithaa's sharpest attack against Narendra Modi (Gujrat CM) so far..
Chennai: A day after Narendra Modi suggested that he shares a good relationship with Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, she did not return the compliment. In her sharpest attack yet on the BJP and its prime ministerial candidate, the chief minister said at a rally today that Mr Modi needs to check his facts.
Referring to a rally in Chennai at which Mr Modi had said that neither her AIADMK nor the Opposition DMK had helped Tamil Nadu, Ms Jayalalithaa said today, "I would like to tell him (Modi) that the AIADMK is the only party which has done good work and constantly thinks of the people."

Ms Jayalalithaa also said Gujarat's development is a "myth"; Tamil Nadu's growth has been far more impressive than that of Gujarat. Mr Modi and the BJP say that his chief qualification for the country's top job is the development he has brought to Gujarat during his four terms as chief minister. (Elections 2014: full coverage)
In the past, Mr Modi and Ms Jayalalithaa have been openly supportive of each other - when she was sworn in as chief minister of Tamil Nadu in 2011, he attended the ceremony. When Mr Modi won an impressive victory in the Gujarat election in December, 2012, Jayalalithaa attended his swearing-in.
But the BJP and she did not strike a pre-election alliance, and she has said recently that she believes in the potential of a Third Front- a conglomerate of parties that are not affiliated to either the BJP or the Congress.
Ms Jayalalithaa's attacks on Mr Modi became more direct after his meeting with superstar Rajinikanth in Chennai on Sunday, just before the rally in which he criticized her government.
Her remarks against Mr Modi have been attributed by analysts to the fact that the state's two main Muslim parties are aligned with her rival, the DMK. Mr Modi and the BJP are accused by detractors of indulging in communalism and divisive politics and critics say they don't enjoy the confidence of Muslims.
Mr Modi, asked about recent criticisms that Jayalalithaa and he have swapped, said yesterday, "We may have different ideologies, but at a personal level, I have excellent relations with Jayalalithaa."

Modi was born on 17, September 1950 to a family of grocers in Vadnagar in Mehsana district of what was then Bombay State ( present-day Gujarat), India.
He was the third of six children born to Damodardas Mulchand Modi and his wife, Heeraben. He helped his father sell tea at Vadnagar railway station when a child and as a teenager he ran a tea stall with his brother near a bus terminus.
He completed his schooling in Vadnagar, where a teacher described him as being an average student, but a keen debater who had an interest in theatre.
That interest has influenced how he now projects himself in politics.
Modi's parents arranged his marriage as a child, in keeping with the traditions of the Ghanchi caste. He was engaged at the age of 13 to Jashodaben Chimanlal and the couple were married by the time he was 18. They spent very little time together and were soon estranged because Modi decided to pursue an itinerant life. Having remained silent on the question of marriage in four previous election campaigns, and having claimed that his status as a single person meant that he had no reason to be corrupt, Modi acknowledged Jashodaben as his legal spouse when filling in his nomination form for the 2014 Loksabha elections.
Little is known of the two years that Modi spent travelling, probably in the Himalayas, and he resumed selling tea upon his return. He then worked in the staff canteen of Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation until he became a full–time pracharak (propagandist) of the RSS in 1970. He had been involved with the RSS as a volunteer from the age of eight and had come into contact with Vasant Gajendragadkar and Nathalal Jaghda, leaders of the Jan Sangh who later founded the BJP's Gujarat state unit.
After Modi had received some RSS training in Nagpur, which was a prerequisite for taking up an official position in the Sangh Parivar, he was given charge of Sangh's student wing, Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, in Gujarat. Modi organised agitations and covert distribution of Sangh's pamphlets during the Emergency.
Modi remained a pracharak in the RSS while he completed his Master's degree in political science from Gujarat University.
