‘Captain’ Vijayakanth Chennai meeting promises - clean TN

Posted by admin On October - 18 - 2008

In what could well be his bitterest ever attack targetting the DMK government and to a milder extent Ms Jayalalithaa heading the opposition AIADMK, ‘Captain’ Vijayakanth on Saturday said the people of Tamil Nadu had suffered both enough and it was time for his DMDK to usher in change with a clean administration.

“There is corruption everywhere, in every thing. They are looting. Even the present power cut is only to help them take bribes in the darkness. Both of them have indulged in corruption and have slapped bribe cases against each other. Should you still vote for them?” he asked. In what could well be his bitterest ever attack targeting the DMK government and to a milder extent Ms Jayalalithaa heading the opposition AIADMK, ‘Captain’ Vijayakanth on Saturday said the people of Tamil Nadu had suffered both enough and it was time for his DMDK to usher in change with a clean administration.

“There is corruption everywhere, in every thing. They are looting. Even the present power cut is only to help them take bribes in the darkness. Both of them have indulged in corruption and have slapped bribe cases against each other. Should you still vote for them? I promise corruption-free administration so that the people could live in comfort,” the star-politician told a huge youth wing rally held here in connection with the party’s fourth anniversary.

Promising all-round development, equal educational opportunities and jobs, he said, “If the DMDK comes to power, I will remove the power-cuts in just five months. I will not reveal the method now, as they would steal my idea.” He alleged that the ruling party and the government had ‘intimidated’ him. “My party followers and I are not cowards but are like the banana trees that grow even after being chopped,” he said in his spirited speech lustily cheered by the followers.

Turning to the Sri Lankan Tamil issue, Mr Vijayakanth charged chief minister M. Karunanidhi of indifference towards the tragic plight of the Tamils. “I had donated Rs.6 lakh for the tsunami relief here but gave Rs.12 lakh for the tsunami work in Sri Lanka. Has anyone in these two parties given any such help? Can you throw away your government on this Lankan Tamil issue and face the election?” Pointing to the DMK government’s ambitious free-TV scheme, he said priorities were misplaced. “Why gift a colour TV when there is no power at home?” He asked his followers to ensure that the party won all the 40 seats in the coming LS polls and win power at the next state elections. “Is it an ordinary achievement that we have now 27 per cent votes within just three years after launching the party?”
