Thangabalu sees anti-DMK wave

By Our Special Correspondent

TIRUCHI, MAY 8. A strong anti-DMK wave was clearly perceptible in the State which would see the AIADMK led secular front in power after the Assembly polls, said Mr. K.V. Thangabalu, former TNCC president, here today.

The ``anti-people'' policies of the State Government, the gross interference in the functioning of the returning officers in the four constituencies in which the nominations of the AIADMK chief, Ms. Jayalalitha, were rejected, and the unholy alliance between the ``fascist'' BJP and the DMK had created a strong ``anti- pathy'' against the ruling party among the non- committed voters, and this would tilt the scales in favour of the secular front.

In as much as the conviction against Ms. Jayalalitha had been stayed she had not suffered any disqualification to contest the election, and hence there would be no hurdle to her becoming Chief Minister, when the secular front got a majority in the polls, he said.
