TTV Dhinakaran vows full support for AIADMK

CHENNAI: The AIADMK's outreach to garner support for the party's candidate in the bypolls was fruitful, at least with AMMK general secretary TTV Dhinakaran, who reiterated his support.

After interacting with visiting AIADMK leaders led by KP Munusamy, Dhinakaran assured his full backing. He reiterated his stance that AMMK will support AIADMK candidates in the bypolls.

On Chief Minister Joseph Vijay's foreign trip, Dhinakaran said various comments and opinions were emerging about the visit and urged the State government to explain the investments secured during the Chief Minister's three-day London trip after his return to Tamil Nadu.

Referring to the TVK government completing 100 days, Dhinakaran said its performance had disappointed even those who had voted for the party.

He alleged that instead of fulfilling the promises made to the people, Vijay was focusing on projecting himself before the public. People, however, had begun to realise the government's failures, he said.

On the proposed new Secretariat at Pattinapakkam, Dhinakaran said the location was unsuitable as it was close to the sea and would require permission from the Centre. He also pointed out that fishermen in the area were opposing the proposal.

The State government's plan to construct the Secretariat at Pattinapakkam would not materialise, and the proposal should be stopped at the initial stage itself, he said.
