Chennai: Tamil Nadu Congress Committee on Tuesday announced that it would take out a rally Raj Bhavan to submit a memorandum listing out corruptions in the AIADMK regime to Governor. After the party’s state executive committee meeting held at Sathyamurthy Bhavan, State Congress president E.V.K.S. Elangovan said that the date for the rally would be announced in a couple of days.
In the resolution adapted to this effect, it alleged that the government is trying to intimidate the TNCC president by foisting false cases against him. “Elangovan who had faced 18 such cases during the previous tenure will not be frightened by this,” it said. The TNCC’s executive committee met in the city days after two warring factions of Elangovan and former Union minister P. Chidambaram making a peace.
Though PC and his son Karti did not turn up, some of their loyalists including M. N. Kandasamy and Youth Congress vice-president Vijay Ilanchezhian attended the meeting. Elangovan told reporters that he spoke to Chidambaram who was in Delhi over phone while Karti has given a letter explaining his absence. Another resolution said that party has decided to attack BJP at national level and AIADMK at the state level as its electoral strategy for the ensuing 2016 Assembly polls.
“The Congress has the responsibility to expose the anti people actions of the BJP government at the centre and corrupt AIADMK government at the state,” it said, adding that whenever Congress makes charge against the ruling AIADMK government it gains more importance unlike other parties. “The Congress should make use of this to expand party’s voter base,” it said.
A resolution congratulated Congress president Sonia Gandhi and vice president Rahul Gandhi for holding a massive rally of farmers against BJP government’s land acquisition amendment bill. Separate resolution were adopted to condole the deaths of writer Jayakanthan and Prof T. S. Killivalavan.
