Kongu Nadu Makkal Desiya Katchi (KMDK) State General Secretary and Tiruchengode MLA Easwaran announced party's youth wing state secretary S Suriyamurthy as the candidate for Namakkal parliamentary constituency in the party's governing council meeting held in Erode on Monday.

The following is his reply to the queries of reporters:  Namakkal constituency has already been re-allocated to his party in the DMK alliance.  Already, Suriyamurthy was chosen as the candidate. When other parties started announcing their candidates, his party also declared his name as a candidate. In the DMK alliance, other parties are contesting on their own symbol. But  his party has no problem in contesting under the Udayasuriyan symbol in the DMK alliance. Previously, many said INDIA block would not intact. But, in many states, there has been agreement among the parties in the alliance.  Similarly, after the election, there will be no problem in choosing the Prime Minister by INDIA Block parties. As already said by CM, the election is for 'who should not come to power'. Fund raising is a normal practice of the political parties. But, BJP has received huge amount of funds through electoral bonds by intimidation by using Central agencies. DMK did not intimidate or give any concession to the donors. DMK has crores of members. Jafar Sadiq is a single person. He has been arrested for drug sales. His case should not be linked with DMK. Central government's role is also important to eliminate ganja because ports are controlled by the Central government. Drugs came from foreign countries through ports.  So, Central govt should take strict measures to eradicate drugs. Party executives including former MP Chinraj, Suriyamurthy Iswaramurthy, Govindaraj, Jaganathan and many attended the meeting.
