DMDK General Secretary Premalatha Vijayakanth refuted media claims about the allocation of six Assembly constituencies to her party in the BJP–AIADMK discussions. She clarified that no official seat-sharing proposal had been received from any political party. Stressing the absence of formal statements from AIADMK and BJP, she criticized the dissemination of unconfirmed news as factual.
Premalatha expressed concerns over the proliferation of unverified information from social media, warning about its impact on the credibility of news channels and voter awareness. Asserting the DMDK’s autonomy in decision-making, she mentioned that the party would decide on alliances after consulting its members. The final decision will be disclosed post the January 9 party conference in Cuddalore, disregarding any pre-conference rumors.
Invitations for the upcoming second death anniversary of DMDK founder Vijayakanth will be extended to major political entities, including DMK, AIADMK, BJP, NTK, and TVK. Reflecting on Vijayakanth’s personal beliefs, Premalatha highlighted his long-standing observance of Christmas, emphasizing his inclusive values since childhood. She noted his education in a Christian school and consistent promotion of inclusivity throughout his public life, contrasting with recent politicization of such celebrations by certain leaders.
Premalatha, accompanied by party treasurer L.K. Sudhish, partook in Christmas festivities at the party office, distributing sweets and welfare aid to children and the public. In preparation for Vijayakanth’s second death anniversary on December 28, the DMDK announced statewide food distribution initiatives, reinforcing its commitment to social welfare and commemoration.
