Congress volunteers raise slogans opposing DMK alliance in Tamil Nadu

Demanding establishment of Kamaraj rule in Tamil Nadu, a group of Congress and Youth Congress workers here today greeted visiting TNCC president KV Thangkabalu with slogans opposing continuance of the party's alliance with DMK for next year's assembly elections.

The volunteers numbering around 100 raised slogan "Vendam Vendam DMK alliance Vendam (Don't want DMK alliance)," for about 15 minutes as Thangkabalu emerged from a party workers
meeting at the District Congress Committee office here.

Thangkabalu, accompanied by former union minister EVKS Elangovan, who has been critical of the DMK government, and
other leaders from the district, did not respond and walked to
his car as the workers continued their slogan shouting and wanted formation of Kamaraj rule, an euphemism for Congress regime.

Another group of Congressmen gathered at a road near the DCC office and also raised the same slogans.

Senior Congress leader Gulam Nabi Azad, during a recent visit to Chennai, had asserted that the DMK-Congress alliance would continue for the next elections also and expressed hope that the combine would secure more seats by virtue of various social welfare schemes implemented by the Central and state governments.
