Currently the Tamil Nadu Congress Committee president E.V.K.S. Elangovan on Friday has alleged that the ruling AIADMK was able to go first past the post in the just concluded Assembly elections only because of distribution of money to the electorate.
According to him, the Congress and the DMK, which has managed to form a formidable opposition in the Assembly, will act responsibly as the Opposition party in Tamil Nadu and he also appeared to make snide remarks against those who broke away from the Congress party to join other alliances and those who projected themselves as the alternative to DMK and AIADMK fronts.
Elangovan has also welcomed DMK leader M.K. Stalin being elected as the Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly. Mr. Elangovan was also critical of the Election Commission and there were doubts over whether the Election Commission was even functional and they have worked against democracy.
He has welcomed Chief Minister Jayalalitha’s gesture of reaching out to Mr. Stalin and Ms. Jayalalitha wishing Mr. Stalin is surprising and he don’t know if she has changed and if she has reformed, it is my duty to appreciate it.
