Manimaran
new president of Pondicherry PMK
Pondicherry: N.Manimaran, high level committee member and
former education minister has been appointed as the president of
the Pondicherry unit of the Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK), according
to a communication from G.K Mani, president of the party.
V.Shankaran,
vice-president of the party, who was one among the dissidents to
desert the party, today came back into the party. Later speaking
to press persons he accused the DMK of trying to take advantage
of the dissatisfaction prevailing among party functionaries on account
of their not being given tickets for contesting the elections and
discontentment with party leadership and had tried to split the
party.
Sankaran said
that though along with M.Manjini, Pondy PMK convenor and Justice
Govindrajan, high level committee member along with Pondicherry
DMK Convenor, R.V Janakiraman had left for Tiruchi unknowingly (where
DMK Chief and TN CM, M.Karunanidhi was addressing a public meeting),
he denied that there had been any intention to join DMK and the
members returned back to Pondicherry as soon as they were aware
of the intentions of Janakiraman.
He said that
he had come back after the PMK founder leader asked him to reconsider
the decision to resign from the party and indicated that the other
functionaries who left the party would also be rejoining the PMK.
N.Manimaran
who addressed a press conference in the presence of Shankaran said
that the party had grown in strength and there were about 2000 volunteers
in each constituency. Along with AIADMK the party would do well
and will form the government in the UT after the polls.
