Chennai: The party’s treasurer Premalatha Vijayakanth has announced that the DM will contest alone in the Erode East constituency.
EVKS Ilangovan is contesting on behalf of the Congress in the Erode East constituency in the DMK alliance. However, the AIADMK alliance has not yet announced a candidate. Further, on behalf of AIADMK, continuous talks are being held with the allied parties.
In this case, a meeting of DMUDI district secretaries was held at the DMUDI office in Coimbatore, Chennai to discuss the Erode East by-election. In this, DMUDika Treasurer Premalatha Vijayakanth, Deputy Secretary Suthees and others participated.
In this, it has been decided to contest alone in Erode East by-election. Regarding this, DMUDICA Treasurer Premalatha Vijayakanth said, “DMUDIK is contesting alone in Erode East Constituency by-election. Erode East District Secretary Anand is contesting on behalf of DMUDIK. The date of nomination will be announced later.
We have contested all the by-elections since the start of DMD till now. Sometimes we have given up to alliances. Currently, DMD is not in any alliance. In 2011, the constituency won by DMD was Erode East.
What is the need to announce the by-election so soon? Even the trace of his death did not disappear. By-elections have been announced by then. This by-election should be held after 3 months on humanitarian grounds. But announced is announced. So Demuthika finds its own domain.
BJP is yet to announce its position. AIADMK is divided into four factions. The question is whether they have a symbol or not. They also did not announce the status. “Demudika stands alone in this situation,” he said.
