Udhagamandalam, Dec 12: DMDK will field its own candidate, without going for any alliance in the Thirumangalam assembly by-election, in Tamil Nadu, party founder-president, Vijayakanth said today.

The party had also decided to go it alone for the Lok Sabha elections and the 2011 polls to the Tamil Nadu Assemly, without any alliance, Vijayakanth told reporters here.

+The party's alliance would be with God and the people,+ he said when repeatedly asked about his options for alliance.

Though parties from Tamil Nadu had alliance with National parties and ruled at the Centre, on different occasion for the last 20 years, the State has not benefitted, he said.

On the killing of Tamils in Sri Lanka, he said that a political solution would only solve the problem.
