People who wish to have caste, and communal harmony and
peace will prefer a government headed by the BJP’s prime ministerial
candidate, Narendra Modi, MDMK general secretary Vaiko said on Monday.
Mr.
Vaiko was canvassing votes for the PMK candidate for Krishnagiri G.K.
Mani and Dharmapuri candidate Anbumani Ramadoss at a series of meetings
at Hosur, Shoolagiri, Krishnagiri, Bargur, Mathur, Pochampalli and
Uthangarai in Krishnagiri district and at Palacode and Pennagaram in
Dharmapuri district.
Mr. Vaiko said first-time voters
wanted a change of guard and they would definitely vote for Mr. Modi,
helping the NDA bag 320 seats and handing the BJP 272 seats (simple
majority). The NDA would win all 39 seats in Tamil Nadu. If that
happened, “we can fight for the rights of Indian fishermen and those of
the State in the long-pending Palar, south Pennar, Cauvery and
Mullaiperiyar dam issues.
Condemning the incident in
which stones were thrown at Mr. Anbumani Ramadoss, the PMK Youth Wing
leader, Mr. Vaiko praised the restraint shown by PMK workers to avoid a
clash. He also praised the swift action taken by Superintendent of
Police Asra Garg.
