DMDK set to rock city

The props and plans are all ready in a larger-than-life manner for the first youth conference of the DMDK to be held here tomorrow.

And all of them confirm that Vijayakanth is at heart, an actor: A 10,000 member security team to monitor the rally and conference activities, a ‘commando force’ with walkie-talkies all over the city to ensure that vehicles coming from different parts of Tamilnadu reach the venue on time, a team of 100 doctors with ambulances to take care of ‘any emergency situation’.
.
And other things to be mentioned include a 145-feet long stage replicating the Secretariat and Parliament, colourful digital banners all over the city challenging those of the DMK and the AIADMK and a 200-feet Vijayakanth portrait by artist Dakshinamoorthy, who, by the way, is attempting a Guinness record through this .

Meanwhile, it is expected that a few important resolutions would be passed at the meeting by DMDK president Vijayakanth, who is aiming at showing his party’s strength and to score a few brownie points through the much publicised conference.

DMDK sources said that the party’s stand on forging an alliance for the forthcoming Parliamentary polls would be made clear at the conference.

Also, a massive rally has been planned from Chepauk to the conference venue, Island grounds, in the afternoon. DMDK youth wing leader and Vijayakanth’s brother-in-law L K Sudeesh would lead the rally which will be witnessed by the party leaders from a special stage erected near the Manroe statue.

It is to be noted that Vijayakanth recently alleged that the ruling DMK was trying to put obstacles in the run up to the conference by directing private bus operators to return the advances received by them.

‘We have booked private buses across the State to transport party workers for the conference. But the operators are returning the advance paid by us following threats from the State government’, he charged.

He said well grown parties like the DMK should be a role model for the growth of new parties like the DMDK. ‘The DMK should advise the new parties to grow instead of trying to destroy them’.

Vijayakanth said the party cadres were eagerly looking forward to the conference.He sought the cooperation of the Transport department and the police for the successful conduct of the conference, being organised to commemorate the party’s fourth founding day and Anna’s birth centenary also.
