Chennai: The first major rally of DMDK-People’s Welfare Alliance will be held at Maamandur near Chengalpet on April 10 in which the first list of candidates will be announced for the May 16 assembly polls, said alliance coordinator and MDMK general secretary Vaiko.
A decision was taken after a meeting, the four-party combine People’s Welfare Front (PWF), comprising the MDMK, VCK, CPI (M) and CPI, met Vijayakanth at the latter’s party office on Friday. Mr Vaiko, VCK president Thol. Thirumavalavan, CPI (M) secretary G. Ramakrishnan and CPI state secretary R. Mutharasan participated in the meeting, in which, the election strategy and identification of constituencies were discussed.
Mr Vaiko said the first meeting, after the alliance was clinched on March 23, would be held on April 10 at Andal Alagar College of Engineering, in which he, Vijayakanth and other PWF leaders would attend. The first list of candidates of the front will be released in the meeting, he added.
Accusing both the ruling AIADMK and the opposition DMK of ruining the state, Mr Vaiko exuded confidence that people were yearning for a change and the front would sweep the polls.
He also said Vijayakanth would become the Chief Minister after May 19 (the day of counting) and form a coalition government that would free the state from liquor, corruption and provide solace to all sections, including the farmers and fishermen. He also said the coalition government would also confiscate the ill-gotten wealth of the AIADMK and DMK members and auction them publicly.
