TVK poster controversy: N Anand named CM candidate, Vijay’s name excluded
The development comes on the eve of the TVK general council meeting, scheduled to take place in Thiruvanmiyur here by this morning
Posters featuring N Anand, the party's general secretary, as its chief ministerial candidate
CHENNAI:Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) has been plunged into chaos following the emergence of posters featuring N Anand, the party's general secretary, as its chief ministerial candidate.
The sudden appearance of these posters, allegedly pasted by Chennai suburban district secretary ECR P Saravanan, has sparked widespread confusion and discontent among party ranks, particularly as they conspicuously omit any mention of TVK president Vijay.
However, TVK general secretary N Anand downplayed the issue, stating that he is merely an ordinary worker within the party.
Anand attributed the poster to the handiwork of miscreants, seeking to deflect attention from the controversy.
"I am just an ordinary worker in TVK. It appears that some miscreants have taken it upon themselves to create this poster," Anand told reporters here.
Chennai Suburban District Secretary ECR P Saravanan also vehemently refuted allegations regarding controversial posters, asserting that they were a malicious ploy by the opposition to tarnish his reputation.
"We have no connection to these posters. This is a calculated attempt by opposition forces to defame me," Saravanan stated.
He further pointed out that a similar incident had previously occurred in Theni, hinting at a broader smear campaign.
"If you wish to engage in politics, do so directly. Don't resort to cowardly tactics like these," he added.
