There is overwhelming support for the Secular Progressive Alliance in both rural and urban areas, says the MDMK founder.
MDMK general secretary Vaiko in an interview on Wednesday said the outcome of the election would change the face of Indian politics. He said Tamil Nadu would be a battleground against rabid communal and sanatana forces. Edited excerpts: Both in rural and urban areas, there is overwhelming support for the Secular Progressive Alliance. People are gathering in lakhs. Any criticism against the AIADMK government is well received with applause. When I speak about the DMK’s electoral promises, people roar with appreciation. The DMK has come out with 1,451 promises and when I cite some of them, women welcome them. Free bus passes and ₹1,000 a month for women have had tremendous impact on them. Women are going to decide the outcome of this election. I hope the DMK government will include prohibition in its agenda. I have been fighting for prohibition and my mother died for the cause of prohibition.More Related News
