Sources from Thoothukudi stated that DMK’s candidate Kanimozhi in an interview to DC in the midst of her hectic campaigning in Thoothukudi Lok Sabha constituency said she does not believe in caste and she would perhaps call herself hybrid”. Meanwhile she stoutly denied the suggestion she chose this constituency because it is Nadar dominated and her mother is a Nadar.

Kanimozhi referring to the rival’s speeches and campaign posters said “On the other hand, her opponent (BJP president Dr Tamilisai Sounderarajan) is flaunting her (Nadar) caste tag to seek votes, which is sad coming from an educated person and that too from the daughter of well-known Congress leader Kumari Anandan. People who seek votes based on their caste and community is a shame”. Furthermore she said she did not try contesting for Lok Sabha earlier because she had been bogged down in the 2G case and would not have done justice to being the representative of a constituency, “which is very intense as that gives you the responsibility to upgrade the infrastructure of a huge space and improve the lives of a huge population, fulfill their expectations”.



Presently she can focus all her energy on Thoothukudi, if elected, she said, pointing out that she had adopted a village in the constituency, Sri Venkatesapuram, for development using her MPLAD funds many months back when local panchayat president Vijayalakshmi approached her for help. She said “Vijayalakshmi was an independent, did not belong to any party and she was so touched by her commitment to serve people that I readily participated in that effort.”
