Major parties, Independent candidates file nomination in Dindigul and Theni constituencies

Dindigul Lok Sabha candidates file nominations, confident of victory; AIADMK, DMK, PMK candidates express their plans for the constituency.

R Sachidanandam of CPI (M) on Monday filed his nomination papers before the Returning Officer M.N. Poongodi for Dindigul Lok Sabha constituency.

Soon after the nomination process was completed, he told media persons in the presence of Ministers I Periasami and R Sakkarapani and MLA I P Senthilkumar and other leaders that the INDIA alliance would emerge victorious in all the 39 seats in Tamil Nadu. The three years of the DMK regime had not only improved the image of all candidates in the State but also given a fillip to the people to vote for the INDIA front candidates.

The AIADMK alliance candidate VMS Mohamed Mubarak, state president of SDPI, filed his nomination with the Returning Officer, accompanied by former ministers Dindigul C Srinivasan and Natham R Viswanathan.

The SDPI candidate told media persons that the non performance of the DMK MP Velusami in Dindigul over the last five years was the biggest strength for his victory. He also said that the DMK regime in the last three years had earned anti-incumbency wave in the State.

The PMK state treasurer P Thilaga Bama, who is representing the BJP alliance, filed her nomination with the officials.

Speaking to reporters, she said that she is fully aware of the issues of the people of Dindigul constituency. The DMK and the AIADMK, in the past, had done nothing to the people. On the other hand, they had only looted the coffers, she charged and said that the only hope for saving the nation from the corrupt functionaries was Narendra Modi.

The PMK candidate said that she was confident of emerging victorious from Dindigul as the people were aware of the tricks of the DMK. Likewise, the AIADMK has become weak and lost its sheen after splits in the party. The cadres were not at all happy with the happenings in the AIADMK.
