Ahead of birthday, Karuna asks cadres to gear up for TN polls

Ahead of his 92nd birthday on June 3, DMK chief Karunanidhi today exhorted party cadres to put in a planned effort to win the Assembly elections scheduled to be held next year.
"To make the party win, to put Tamil Nadu on the development path, rally forward to work in a planned fashion and start with gusto," Karunanidhi said, writing his birthday message in party mouthpiece 'Murasoli'.
The DMK has made elaborate arrangements for the birthday celebrations of its chief who was born on June 3, 1924.
Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, as per schedule, is expected by April-May next year.

"Next year is election year. We have to plan and do it properly, we have to take the achievements of our previous regimes to the people and list the travails of the people in the AIADMK regime," Karunanidhi reminded cadres and exhorted them to do poll related work properly.
To strengthen cohesion among party rank and file, he asked them to "have a firm mind that it is the party which will be the candidate in all constituencies rather than considering who will be the candidate in which seat."
He also gave some indications about the desirable aspects for a prospective party candidate for elections.

"To take them (AIADMK) on, our candidate should have will power and the strength of support," he said.
