With Vikravandi by-elections scheduled to be held on July 10, parties are busy campaigning. On behalf of DMK, ministers are camping in the constituency and collecting votes from house to house.
AIADMK has boycotted the by-elections. BMC candidate C. Anbumani is contesting on behalf of the BJP alliance. Party leader Anbumani Ramadoss campaigned today in support of him.
As the AIADMK boycotted the elections, the three parties DMK, BAM and Nam Tamils are busy trying to get the party’s votes.
DMK will have a hold on AIADMK in any assembly election. But in this by-election they are leaving AIADMK and criticizing Modi. Because the AIADMK is not in the field, the votes against them may go to the BAM, and if they do not criticize them, they make a calculation that the votes are likely to go to them.
By supporting AIADMK’s hunger strike, Naam Tamilar Katchi Seeman is indirectly seeking the party’s support.
In this context, Anbumani Ramadaso has openly asked AIADMK members to vote for him.
Campaigning in Sanimedu village today, he said, “DMK is relying only on money in this election which is being held for our rights. Dr Ramadoss has been fighting for reservation for 45 years. They tried to stop the minister who came from somewhere by paying money to come to this meeting.
But are we addicted to money? If Bamaka wins this election, it will get 10.5 percent seat reservation next month. The chief should be afraid of us.
Don’t be conscientious about this choice. Don’t divide your vote because you have bought money. Not a single vote should fall to DMK. A request to AIADMK. Our common enemy is DMK. You should vote for Bamako,” he said.
