‘Voting for AIADMK and DMK is equal to throwing votes in dustbin’

DMK is known for making false promises, especially to women. They promised to give ₹1,000 to all women. But, it was not given to all, says Tamil Maanila Congress president G.K. Vasan; ‘NDA will form government in T.N. in 2026’

Voting for DMK and AIADMK in this election is equal to throwing votes in dustbin, said Tamil Maanila Congress president G.K. Vasan on Friday.

Mr. Vasan campaigned for Dharmapuri Lok Sabha PMK candidate Sowmiya Anbumani in Dharmapuri on Friday evening.

Speaking at the meeting, Mr. Vasan said that Dharmapuri was an important Lok Sabha constituen­cy in this election, as after 50 years, a woman was contesting here. People should vote for Ms. Anbumani in recognitio­n of PMK founder S. Ramadoss’ s 65 years of political service.

PMK president Anbumani Ramadoss had imposed various restrictio­ns on smoking cigarettes when he was Union Health Minister. People have a responsibi­lity to put a full stop to the DMK government, which itself claimed it was the number one government. In terms of drug menace, liquor sales, an increase in prices of essential commoditie­s and corruption, the DMK government was the number one government, Mr. Vasan alleged.

Terming this Lok Sabha election as crucial, Mr. Vasan said people should not vote for DMK and AIADMK.

If people voted for these two parties, it was equal to throwing their votes in the dustbin. DMK was known for making false promises, especially to women. They promised to give ₹1,000 to all women. But it was not given to all. After the BJP comes to power again, the country would become a superpower, which would ensure the safety of the country, Mr. Vasan added.

Campaignin­g for Salem Lok Sabha constituen­cy PMK candidate N. Annadurai at Deevattipa­tti in Salem, Mr. Vasan said that if the DMK or the AIADMK won a single seat, they would act as enemy parties of the government in Parliament and not as opposition parties.

They would hesitate to meet the Union Ministers or Prime Minister for the developmen­t of the State. In 2026, the National Democratic Alliance would form a strong government in Tamil Nadu, Mr. Vasan added.

Mr. Vasan also campaigned for Namakkal Lok Sabha constituen­cy BJP candidate K.P. Ramalingam at Erumapatti and Namagiripe­ttai.
