BJP is fighting proxy polls through AIADMK in State, says Kanimozhi

Unlike the elections of the past where the DMK faced either the AIADMK or its local ally, this time around, the party will be facing the BJP, for whom, the AIADMK is only a front for fighting proxy elections, DMK MP Kanimozhi said. Speaking to the booth-level committee members as part of the campaign trail, Ms. Kanimozhi said this election was not just about victory of the DMK, but about self-respect, social justice and the Dravidian movement, all of which was antithetical to the divisive politics of the BJP. “This was an election fought at the level of principle and ideology, election that would be fought in the name of Karunanidhi, Anna and Periyar, who stood for social justice and fraternity. They will bring forth all kinds of divisive politics of caste, community, religion – but do not sway,” Ms.Kanimozhi said.
