``At no point of time did I ever promise action against the Karunanidhi Government. Our government will always do what is constitutionally correct and politically legitimate,'' Advani told reporters here.

Jayalalitha had, on Tuesday, accused Advani of ``eating his own words'' on taking action against the DMK Government. She made the attack while addressing a public meeting at Tiruchirapalli to mark the 90th birth anniversary of the late Chief Minister C N Annadurai.

Pressed for his reaction to Jayalalitha's charge, Advani said: ``I need not say anything about it now. Even personal provocations will not deflect our government from the path of constitutional propriety.''
