Tamil Maanila Congress president G.K. Vasan forms poll committee to discuss alliance with BJP for Lok Sabha elections.
Tamil Maanila Congress (Moopanar) president G.K. Vasan on Thursday, March 7, 2024 announced a six-member poll committee to hold talks with the BJP.
Last month, G. K. Vasan announced that his party would join the BJP-led NDA for the Lok Sabha elections. Former MP P. R. S. Venkatesan, former MLAs Vidiyal S. Sekar, N. R. Rangarajan and K.V.R. Ramprabhu and general secretaries A.S. Sakthivadivel and A.S. Munavar Basha will be part of the committee, Mr. Vasan said in a statement.
“Like in the case of 2019, Tamil Maanila Congress will contest in its own symbol. Our legal team is working towards getting the bicycle symbol allotted to us for the elections,” he told reporters.
Political economist Parakala Prabhakar has described the exit poll results as “fudged figures”, saying that those would benefit the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) only. “False predictions were given with the sole objective of helping the NDA in rigging during the counting,” alleged Mr. Prabhakar, after releasing a book titled ‘Avineeti Chakravarthi Narendra Modi’ penned by former Minister Vadde Shobanadreeswara Rao, here, on June 2 (Sunday).
