After drawing a blank in the recently concluded assembly elections, the DMDK senior functionaries have reportedly informed their senior leader Vijayakanth to go alone in the municipal polls in October.

According to a report in the Hindu, in a recent meeting that was held by Vijayakanth for the district secretaries, it is reported that some of the senior functionaries urged their leader to cut off ties with People Welfare Front.

The functionaries believe that the party rout in the elections was due to the alliance.  A complete lack of coordination with the party members of the alliance is alleged to have been the reason behind failure of DMDK's poor performance in the elections.

The report also said that some of the leaders have complained to Vijayakanth that the situation was bad during the elections as there were not enough members from other alliance parties to man the voting booths.

The campaign style of MDMK leader Vaiko was also attributed for the failure in the elections. DMDK supporters are anti-AIADMK majority. Vaiko's focus was more on DMK. Therefore according to the party members, it resulted in several DMDK supporters voting for the DMK

A former MLA  had also said that an alliance with DMK would have ensured a victory for the party in the elections. The assembly polls have hit each of the district functionaries financially and supporting the alliance in the municipal polls is difficult, he added.
