Venkaiah asks TN people to shun cash for votes
Â
Accusing both AIADMK and DMK of being corrupt, Union Minister and senior BJP leader M Venkaiah Naidu today asked the people in Tamil Nadu not to be swayed by "cash or caste" in the May 16 Assembly elections.
Â
Addressing an election meeting in support of BJP candidates here, he asked the voters to think and vote for eligible and meritorious candidates.Â
Â
"Do not vote for cash and caste," he said.
Â
He charged that both DMK and AIADMK were corrupt parties.
Â
"In all departments, there is corruption," he said.
Â
Attacking the Congress-DMK combine, he said they were opportunist parties.
Â
They had snapped their alliance earlier but again joined together for the coming Assembly polls, he said.
Â
He added that Congress and Communist parties were blocking several good initiatives of the NDA government in Parliament.
Â
"When good schemes are announced all parties should cooperate for the welfare of people but Congress was blocking them," he alleged.
