Addressing a mediaperson in 49th Chennai book fair, TNCC chief Selvaperunthagai said that TTV Dhinakaran has joined the NDA alliance due to threats and fear, and the move was purely 'opportunistic'.
He claimed that the NDA alliance was 'unnatural'. He questioned how could ADMK and BJP parties seek votes from people of Tamil Nadu after withholding, restricting the State's share of funds, and continuously hurting the sentiments of Tamil people.
With senior Congress leaders Manickam Tagore voicing out for a share in power and not just a share in seats, and Praveen Chakravarthy openly stating that TVK's Vijay has undoubtedly risen into a political force in Tamil Nadu, raised doubts regarding the DMK-Congress alliance's strength in the INDIA bloc.
Amid this situation, BJP leader Tamilisai Soundararajan and other leaders in the saffron party are continuously stating that DMK-Congress would not last till the election.
When asked about it, Selvaperunthagai asserted that it was only the BJP's desire and dream. He added that the BJP is aiming to isolate Congress and break the INDIA bloc. He highlighted that the party's high command will soon reveal positive news about its alliance in the State.
Notably, on January 17, Congress's high command directed its leaders in TN to speak in one voice and maintain discipline.
