TNCC against any truck with DMK: Gnanadesikan

Congress in Tamil Nadu was against having any truck with DMK, TNCC President B S Gnanadesikan said today.
Replying to questions about DMK President M Karunanidhi's repeated overtures that he was ready to support Congress if the "ungrateful party" expressed regret, he told reporters here that it was the DMK which ditched the Congress.
He said the TNCC leaders had been pressing the high command to go it alone in this Lok Sabha polls.
On the Sri Lankan Tamils issue, he said parties were taking it up only for "personal gains" and "cheap publicity".
Expressing confidence that the party would do well in the state, he said "overall development" achieved under the UPA was the main plank of the party in the polls.

Gnanadesikan, who was here to canvas votes for party candidates contesting the April 24 Lok Sabha polls, said Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi would campaign in the state around April 20.
To a question why Union Finance Minister P Chidambaram was not campaigning outside Tamil Nadu, he said the party had assigned different states to different leaders and as per this, Chidambaram had been given his home state.
