CHENNAI: Tamil Maanila Congress (Moopanar) president GK Vasan reaffirmed his party's support for the AIADMK-led alliance in the State on Sunday.

The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) at the Centre and the AIADMK-led alliance in Tamil Nadu have functioned as a successful combine, registering gains in acceptance from the people in recent months, he said. “Parties committed to removing the DMK from power should unite to strengthen this alliance," he said.

Meanwhile, he appealed to Members of Parliament from Tamil Nadu to support the NDA's Vice-Presidential candidate CP Radhakrishnan in the election scheduled for September 9.

Speaking to reporters at the Chennai airport, Vasan said, "As a Tamilian, I want a Tamil to win the Vice-Presidential election. I am going to Delhi to vote for CP Radhakrishnan. All MPs should vote according to their conscience and make Tamils and Tamil Nadu proud by ensuring that a Tamil leader occupies important national positions."

Referring to Chief Minister MK Stalin's overseas visits, Vasan remarked that no white paper had been released so far on the outcomes of the trips. "With only six months left for the Assembly elections, it remains uncertain whether these tours will yield any benefits," he added.
