‘AIADMK-led combine is natural alliance’

Addressing a meeting at the AIADMK headquarters after meeting the party MLAs, he rejected the ruling Congress-led rival group’s charge that the alliance was opportunistic. AINRC has been allocated the Puducherry Lok Sabha seat under the pact with the AIADMK-led alliance which comprises BJP and PMK among others.

 “The pact finalised by us is a natural alliance and not opportunistic as had been wrongly propagated by the rival camp,” the former CM said. He said the alliance would win the coming polls with a thumping majority in all the 40 constituencies. Noting that his party had won the Puducherry seat in 2014, he said that it would be retained “because of our powerful alliance.” Rangasamy also said the “anti-people” policies of the Congress government would be focused during the campaign in the UT. Earlier, Puducherry CM V Narayansmay on Sunday accused All India N R Congress president and leader of the opposition N Rangaswamy of being a “cheap politician” and “an opportunistic.”
