Erode (East) bypoll | BJP could not win, so is raising non-existent problems: E.V.K.S. Elangovan

The Hindu  

The BJP could not win the recently-conducted Erode bypoll, and so, was raising non-existent problems and trying to conspire against the DMK government, but people would not allow this, said senior Congress leader and Erode MLA-elect E.V.K.S. Asked about BJP IT cell social media unit president quitting the party and joining the AIADMK, Mr. Elangovan said that cadre moving between the AIADMK and BJP showed that both the parties were heading for a disaster. Asked about BJP MLA Vanathi Srinivasan claiming that the DMK had earlier said that north Indian workers should leave the State, Mr. Elangovan said it was not true. Besides, reducing traffic congestion on city roads, constructing a flyover on Mettur Road and other problems of the people would be discussed with the Minister for Housing and Urban Development S. Muthusamy for solutions, he said.
