DMK cadres promise money for those attending Gram Sabha meet, people end up getting ‘Tea and Vadai’ instead

In a tragically comic incident, people who were promised money by DMK cadres to attend the party’s Gram Sabha meet were left high and dry with just tea and vadai.

Residents of Malaiyadipatti near Rajapalayam in Virudhunagar district were made to attend the Gram Sabha meet presided by DMK MLA S. Thangapandian and District Secretary Ramachandran. They were promised money and other gifts for which tokens were also issued. Believing their words, people attended the meeting.

However, they were just given a single cup of tea and vadai at the end of the meeting. Reportedly, some of them were not even given the vadai. 

Sensing trouble, the DMK organizers fled the scene with empty vessels who were chased by dismayed people including children.
