AIADMK leader
Jayalalithaa cannot hope for a favourable verdict in the appeal filed against
her conviction in the disproportionate assets case in the Karnataka High Court,
said Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam founder Vijayakant. He was addressing an
International Women’s Day rally organised by the Women’s Wing of the DMDK in
Salem.
He also dismissed
the argument that the DMDK was losing its popularity among the voters. On the
contrary, the party was gaining in strength and fast becoming a powerful
political force in the State.
On the Mekedatu
issue, Mr. Vijayakant said that when the matter surfaced during MGR’s regime,
the former Chief Minister approached the then Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi,
who managed to pacify the then Karnataka Chief Minister, Gundu Rao, to shelve
the project.
The farmers of
Tamil Nadu who have been staging agitations in front of Parliament in New
Delhi, should agitate in front of
Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s house, demanding that she direct the Congress
Chief Minister of Karnataka not to go ahead with this project.
