R Sathyanarayana, April 18, 2016,Chennai, dhns
Chief Ministerial candidates Jayalalithaa from the ruling AIADMK, MK Stalin of opposition DMK and Vijayakanth in DMDK in Tamil Nadu may be arch political rivals, but they have something in common.
All the three candidates are supported in their endeavors by a close companion. For Jayalalithaa, her friend and close associate of over several decades Sasikala is always by her side. She can be seen with the chief minister during the campaign trail.
During the public meeting, Sasikala is always seated in the front row, cheering her friend. Her presence is itself a huge support to the AIADMK supremo. Fondly called as “Chinna Amma” by the party cadres, Sasikala has always been with Jayalalithaa through thick and thin. For DMK leader M K Stalin, his wife Durga Stalin is a source of inspiration and solid support. She accompanies her husband during the course of the poll campaign. With Stalin keeping late hours after hectic campaign, it is Durga Stalin who takes care of all his needs. She also gauges public response to her husband’s campaign.
For Vijayakanth, the chief minister candidate of DMDK-PWF front, his wife Premalatha is not only his companion but also a cheer leader and orator, who addresses public, poll candidate and also a campaign manager. Donning multiple act, has become the norm for this feisty women’s chief. Next to her husband, Premalatha is huge crowd puller thus making Vijayakanth’s task of reaching out the masses easier.
Fondly called as “Anni” (elder brother’s wife) by her party supporters, Premalatha too shared the burden of her husband during the aspirant’s selection activity.
Thus, ably assisted, supported and cheered by the respective companions, these three leaders are criss-crossing Tamil Nadu, addressing huge public gatherings.
AIADMK ‘fooling’ people, says BJP
The BJP on Sunday attacked the AIADMK in Tamil Nadu, saying they were “fooling” people by putting its stamp on welfare schemes, which get subsidy from the Centre, DHNS reports from Chennai.
“It (State Government) is fooling the people by putting its stamp on various schemes, including the free rice scheme, for which the Centre was providing a subsidy of Rs 32 per kg”, Union Minister for Environment, Forests and Climate Change Prakash Javadekar said. Claiming that the AIADMK government was labelling their names on the schemes essentially 90% financed by the Centre, he said on the free rice to the poor, the central government was providing 90% subsidy and the state governments only provide the remaining 10%.
