NR Congress likely to go it alone

Chief minister and party president N Rangasamy gave a hint to this effect while talking to newspersons here on Tuesday. Giving evasive replies to several questions posed by the scribes, Rangasamy, however said, that he had not held talks with any party for an alliance so far and his party was ready to face the election alone. 

It may be noted that while several parties had already started preparations for the election, Rangasamy remained silent without showing any inclination to have an alliance with other parties. VCK leader Thirumavalavan had stated that talks would be held with Rangasamy to have an alliance between the People’s Welfare Front (PWF) and the N R Congress.

However, convenor of the PWF and CPI secretary R Viswanathan had denied this. Apart from this, PMK and BJP had expressed interest to have alliance with the N R Congress. But nothing had materialised so far. 

In this backdrop, the Chief Minister said, his party was prepared to face the election and there was ample time left for it . N R Congress, AIADMK, PMK, PWF and BJP might contest the election on their own
