DMK & DMDK are like oil and water, won't bond: RB Udayakumar
The Minister told reporters that Vijayakanth would take a good decision on aligning with the AIADMK and announce it.
CHENNAI: State Revenue Minister R. B. Udayakumar took pot shots at the DMK for attempting to rope in Vijayakanth’s DMDK. He said the two parties are like oil and water and they would never bond.
“DMK and DMDK are like oil and water. The two will never bond,” Mr. Udayakumar sarcastically remarked. Participating in the foundation stone laying ceremony for the construction of a building for the Madurai District Rural Development Agency (DRDA) at an estimated cost of Rs 5.5 crore on Sunday, the Minister told reporters that Vijayakanth would take a “good decision” on aligning with the AIADMK and announce it.
“Elder brother Vijayakanth hails from Madurai and was married to Premalatha in Madurai….those in Madurai possess good knowledge of politics,” Mr. Udayakumar said indicating that he would align with the AIADMK.
“There will be good news soon. It will be a happy ending, as the talks are being held cordially. We will soon form a mega alliance and our front will register an overwhelming victory,” Fisheries Minister D. Jayakumar said and added that the AIADMK’s political foes will spend sleepless nights.
Speaking to reporters here he said, the alliance would be finalised before March 6 and the Prime Minister Narendra Modi would address a joint rally of the allies in the city soon.
Replying to a query, he felt sad for the left parties, which by aligning with the DMK have become the “sacrificial goats for the DMK.” “We have the strength of an elephant. No one can defeat us nor dare to come near us,” Mr. Jayakuamar said.
