‘VCK won’t be part of front with PMK’

Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) leader Thol. Thirumavalavan on Wednesday said his party would not be part of an alliance in which the Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) is a partner.
He also said so far no talks had been held with the DMK directly or indirectly for seat-sharing for the coming Lok Sabha polls.
“I met DMK president M.K. Stalin on February 2 to thank him for participating in the ‘Save Nation’ conference [conducted by VCK] and we had a general discussion on politics. Seat-sharing did not figure during the meeting,” he told The Hindu.
Explaining why the VCK could not work with the PMK in politics, Mr. Thirumavalavan alleged that since the Dharmapuri incident, in which Dalit youth Ilavarasan died, the PMK had been indulging in mudslinging against him and the VCK and seeking to connect them with incidents of ‘Love Jihad’.
