Toughening his stance against the Congress high command, former Union Shipping Minister G KVasan today gave ample indications of breaking away from the party and reviving the erstwhile Tamil Maanila Congress.   

"I will announce my next plan of action on November 3," he told reporters after holding consultations for the second day with his supporters, which included former MLAs Vellore Gnanasekaran and Vidiyal Sekar.    

Raising the 'Valamana Tamilagam, Valimayana Bharatham' (prosperous Tamil Nadu, vibrant India) slogan coined during the founding of Tamil Maanila Congress in 1996 by his father GK Moopanar, Vasan left none in doubt about his next plan.    

"In Tamil Nadu, the movement (the Congress) can be strengthened only by invoking the legacy of Kamaraj and Moopanar," he said in an obvious reference to the tussle with the high command over the issue of membership cards.   

He and his supporters like Gnanadesikan, who quit as TNCC chief had alleged that the high command had not allowed themto use images of Kamaraj and Moopanar in the cards.    

The high command has, however, denied this.
