CHENNAI: Political commentator and editor of the Tamil weekly Thuglak Cho Ramaswamy has asked Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam (DMDK) leader Vijayakanth to ally with the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) to put an end to corrupt rule of DMK in the State.
Addressing the gathering at the 41st anniversary meeting of the Thuglak Magazine here on Friday, Cho Ramaswamy said the AIADMK has more support than the DMK among the people. But it would be good for the AIADMK to have a strong alliance to fight the DMK in the forthcoming Assembly elections.
In this context, Cho said that Vijayakanth, who had faced enough problems from the DMK government, should do away with his stance to contest the elections independently.
“Vijayakanth’s stand of fighting independently will not yield any desirable result, so it is high-time he joined the AIADMK front to get rid of the DMK,” suggested Cho.
Earlier, responding to questions from the audience, Cho strongly remarked that AIADMK leader J Jayalalithaa was one leader in Tamil Nadu, who could bring about a change in the State, and urged the people to vote for her.
Acclaimed writer S Gurumurthy earlier spoke about the spectrum scam during the event.
