Tamil Nadu polls: DMDK ready to give up seats for alliance’s win, says Premallatha Vijayakant

CHENNAI: DMDK general secretary Premallatha Vijayakant on Sunday said the party was ready to lower its demand for seats in the DMK front for the sake of alliance's victory.

"If an alliance has to win, some constituencies must be given up. DMDK will definitely make sacrifices. When others do it, we have no a different view on doing the same," she said. She said loyal party workers would be given priority in ticket allocation.

Premallatha dismissed allegations of bargaining hard for seats as baseless. She said party founder Vijayakant was earlier targeted with false allegations and she was being targeted now.

Responding to criticism on social media about her purchasing a luxury car, she asked, "Do you mean to say that even the Captain's family does not have the ability to buy a car?" She also questioned critics citing the party's vote share. "You say DMDK has only 0.5% vote share, then why hold debates about us on YouTube and television?" she said.
