Jayalalitha wants ties with TMC to continue

THANJAVUR, JUNE 13. The AIADMK general secretary, Ms. J. Jayalalitha, said here on Monday that she wanted the alliance between the AIADMK and TMC to continue.

Speaking after inaugurating the Periyar Computer College started by the Dravidar Kazhagam at Orathanadu in Thanjavur district, Ms. Jayalalitha said the service done by Periyar EVR to the State was beyond description. She said Periyar supported any Government that did good to the people.

The Dravidar Kazhagam general secretary, Mr. Veeramani, also took the same line. He supported the AIADMK, but opposed the alliance between the AIADMK and BJP. But this had not affected their personal ties, she said. But certain leaders, she said, praised him (Mr. Veeramani) when he supported them and hated him when he opposed them.

They even went to the extent of damaging the educational institutions run in the name of Periyar by Mr. Veeramani, she alleged.

She said special courts would continue if the AIADMK was voted to power but only `genuine' cases would be tried.

Mr.G.K. Moopanar, TMC president said his party would oppose any move to put hurdles in the growth of educational institutions run in the name of Periyar.

He inaugurated the Periyar tutorial college and career guidance centre.

Mr. R. Nallakannu, CPI state secretary criticised the police for denying permission initially for the meeting.
