The Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) has decided to contest only one seat in the upcoming Puducherry Assembly elections, according to party General Secretary D. Ravikumar, as reported in The Print.
Ravikumar announced that the party, which is part of the Congress-led I.N.D.I. alliance in Puducherry, will contest from the Uzhavarkarai constituency in the elections scheduled for April 9. He added that party workers would focus on ensuring the alliance’s victory in the remaining constituencies.
The VCK had initially planned to contest four seats – Nettapakkam, Oussudu, Uzhavarkarai, and Yanam. However, the decision was revised following discussions between Mukul Wasnik and VCK leader Thol Thirumavalavan.
Speaking to the media, Thirumavalavan said, “After the talks held in Puducherry by Mr. Mukul Wasnik and several other leaders, it was decided that only in Uzhavarkarai the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal (VCK) candidate will contest, and the others, that is those belonging to Congress and DMK, the alliance partners, will work, strive and campaign for the victory of the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal candidate.”
In what comes as an example of ‘slavery’ to alliance, he said, “On that basis, in the constituencies of Oussudu, Nettapakkam and Yanam, where we had already filed nomination papers, even if those nomination papers are not withdrawn, we will not engage in vote-seeking or electioneering. Instead, we have taken the decision that we will work for the victory of the Congress candidates and campaign for their success.”

நாங்க புதுச்சேரியில் நிறுத்திய வேட்பாளர்களுக்கு வாக்களிக்க வேண்டாம்.
எந்த கட்சி தலைவராவது இப்படி பேசுவாங்களா? ஆனா திருமா பேசுவார்.இந்த கட்சிக்கு சுயமரியாதை என்ற ஒன்று எள்ளளவு கூட கிடையாது போல. pic.twitter.com/SNlfEE8wty
