“I Don’t Even Consider Durai Vaiko As A Politician”, Says MDMK Presidium Chairman S Duraisamy

MDMK presidium chairman S Duraisamy has raised a banner of revolt against Vaiko by asking the party to merge the party with the DMK, as the popularity of the MDMK has suffered due to the DMK stifling the former’s growth and overshadowing it.

In an interview to the Vikatan magazine, MDMK presidium chairman S Duraisamy when asked about the allegations made on him by Durai Vaiko that he tried to seize the buildings of MDMK in the 2021 elections, he said, ‘I grew up in Anna’s politics. I don’t need to answer all the complaints of Durai Vaiko who came into politics the other day. I don’t consider him a politician.”

When asked about the reason for his sudden voice to merge the MDMK with the DMK, he quoted Vaiko who in 1993 said,”I have been thrown out of the party because I would obstruct the Crown Prince”, and added that the vintage Vaiko is no more today.

He also accused Vaiko of promoting his son without worrying about the people who have lost everything by trusting him.

“There are many who trusted him and went behind him but have lost all their belongings today. But he doesn’t care about that and is working full-time in projecting his son.”, he said.

”After 2011, the enrollment of members in support of the party happened in March 2022, and Vaiko is claiming that nearly 1,284 people attended the meeting. To prove his claims Vaiko should release the list of MDMK party members along with their Aadhar Numbers for Verification” said MDMK presidium Chairman S. Duraisamy.
