Will focus on people related issues, says NTK candidate Deepalakshmi

My party plans to start desilting irrigation tanks, remove encroachments and if necessary create new water bodies to ensure that people do not have to suffer for lack of water.” On competing with NDA’s AC Shanmugam and DMK’s Kathir Anand, she said, “I do not consider them big time, as none of them have come to politics after earning a name for servicing the people.” She added “I feel my presence in the political arena has created awareness on how much a woman candidate can do for the area as I felt 10 per cent voters favoured me last time. This time I am sure this percentage will increase.” A housewife and mother of two from Ambalur near Vaniyambadi, she joined NTK two years. On NTK chief Seeman campaigning for her, she said, “my leader will address two public meetings in each constituency after July 23.”
