DMDK belies hopes of DMK, BJP, PWF, to go it alone in TN polls

March 10, 2016 21:31

After keeping alliance aspirants on tenterhooks, actor-turned politician Vijayakanth today said his party DMDK would go it alone in the May 16 Tamil Nadu Assembly polls, belying the hopes of DMK, BJP and the

four-party bloc PWF.

"I am making it clear that Vijayakanth is going to fight elections alone," he said to a thunderous applause from the gathering at the party's women's wing meet here.

The declaration by DMDK came against the background of sustained efforts by the DMK, BJP and People's Welfare Front PWF (comprising MDMK, VCK and CPI(M) and CPI) to rope in the Vijayakanth-led party into their fold.

It also has firmed up the election scenario in Tamil Nadu which looks set for a multi-cornered contest among AIADMK, DMK-Cong combine, BJP, PWF and DMDK.
