DMK's manifesto likens BJP to the plague
The Bharatiya Janata Party came in for a lot of criticism in the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) election manifesto released on Thursday. The BJP was flayed for fostering communal ideals. The BJP's poll partner, the AIADMK, was also targetted in the DMK manifesto. The DMK also flayed the Congress, holding it responsible for the mid-term polls. The manifesto, meanwhile, lauded the economic policy of the present UF government and also underlined the DMK's stress on continuance of the reforms.
