Chennai, Nov 13: The Viduthalai Chirtuthaigal Katchi (VCK) is set to host a significant conference titled ‘Vellum Jananayagam’ (Democracy will triumph) in Tiruchy on December 23, featuring the participation of prominent leaders from across India. VCK party chief Thol Thirumavalavan announced the event on Saturday, revealing that Chief Minister MK Stalin, CPM general secretary Sitaram Yechury, CPI general secretary D Raja, and AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge have confirmed their attendance, with the anticipation of more leaders joining the platform.
During an inspection of the conference venue, Cuddalore MP Thirumavalavan highlighted ongoing developments in the Vengaivayal issue, stating that DNA tests for the alleged culprits are in progress. Expressing concern, he noted that some individuals involved in the offense were not fully cooperating with the investigation, urging the State government to prioritize the matter, apprehend the culprits, and ensure they face legal consequences.
Thirumavalavan took the opportunity to address the prevailing law and order situation in the state, attributing disruptions to BJP and RSS rallies. Mocking the BJP’s activities, he claimed that less than 1% of the party’s total cadre attended their meetings, prompting the party to seek support from alliance members and specific caste outfits to bolster their presence.
The Cuddalore MP dismissed the BJP’s attempts to influence Tamil Nadu politics, asserting that the state’s political and social fabric is deeply rooted in the principles of Periyar. He confidently stated that the BJP’s claims against the Dravidian stalwart would not resonate with the people of Tamil Nadu and that the party’s influence would wane post the Lok Sabha polls.
Thirumavalavan concluded by asserting that the Tamil Nadu populace would endure BJP leaders’ speeches until the upcoming elections, after which their presence would diminish. The ‘Vellum Jananayagam’ conference, therefore, not only stands as a political gathering but also as a reaffirmation of the state’s commitment to its socio-political ethos.
