VCK leader asks Vijayakant to join DMK alliance

The Hindu  

Viduthalai Chiruthaikal Katchi leader Thol Thirumavalavan on Saturday requested DMDK leader Vijayakant to be part of the DMK alliance for the Lok Sabha polls to keep the “communal” BJP and the “casteist” PMK at bay. Asked about the meeting between Union Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad and DMK leader M. Karunanidhi, and the stand of the VCK if the Congress rejoined the alliance, he said the question was hypothetical. Mr. Thirumavalavan said he had also requested the DMK to keep a distance from both the BJP and the Congress, and the DMK’s general council adopted a resolution to the effect. “I called on Mr. Karunanidhi to thank him for the resolution of the general council,” he said responding to a query on his party's position on a possible DMK-BJP alliance.
