In a social justice conference organised to shield the separate reservation for the Arundathiyar community, TNCC president E.V.K.S Elangovan stressed that the DMK and the Congress would work closely for the cause of the oppressed sections of the society.
However, when asked about the prospect of an electoral alliance, he said, “But the question of a political alliance will be decided at the time of elections.”
DMK Treasurer Stalin said he was in full agreement with Mr. Elangovan that the DMK and the Congress would work together to fulfil the demands of the Arundathiyar community. “But Mr. Elangovan failed to touch a point. I take liberty to stress it. When it comes to putting an end to the misrule of the AIADMK government, we will function like partners in alliance. No one has any doubt about our commitment,” Stalin said.
The alliance has made way for criticism from CPI leader and former State Secretary D. Pandian. Addressing reporters, he said the two coming together did not bode well for the people of the State as they had “ruined” the country.
