Cong likely to rope in DMDK in Tamil Nadu
Published on Tue, Mar 10, 2009
Chennai: Tamil Nadu Congress Committee (TNCC) President KV Thangkabalu on Monday hinted that the Congress was trying to rope in actor Vijayakanth's Desiya Murpokuku Dravida Kazhagam (DMDK) into the Congress-DMK alliance for Lok Sabha elections.
Thangkabalu said senior Congress leader Gulam Nabi Azad, who visited Tamil Nadu recently, had appealed that all newly formed parties should join the Congress alliance and this would apply to Vijayakanth's nascent DMDK also.
On Congress leader and Union Minister GK Vasan's remarks that there would soon be good news about Vijayakanth joining the Congress alliance, Thangkabalu said, ''it is good if there is a good news''.
Asked whether the Congress was waiting for Vijayakanth's decision on alliance, he said, ''we are yet to talk about the alliance''.
On Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK)'s stand, Thangkabalu said the party is still with the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) at the Centre.
He refused to be drawn into the controversy, when asked whether the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), led by Thol Thirumavalavan would remain in the Congress-DMK alliance.
Thangkabalu flayed AIADMK General Secretary J Jayalalithaa for accusing the Centre in the Sri Lankan Tamils issue and for adopting a double standard.
