Even as DMDK drives a hard bargain with the AIADMK demanding as many seats as the PMK, the Congress is attempting to woo Vijayakant into the DMK alliance. Former Tamil Nadu Congress Committee President Thirunavukkarasar on Thursday, 21 February, met DMDK chief Vijayakant at his residence.
Speaking to reporters after the brief meeting, Thirunavukkarasar said that the meeting was a courtesy call to check on the DMDK Chief’s health, given the fact that the two leaders are long-time friends. However, the Congress leader also hinted that the meeting saw political discussions.
“He is a leader of a political party and I am also a politician. This is election time and when we meet if I say that we did not discuss about Tamil Nadu politics and current affairs, it would be a lie.”Thirunavukkarasar
