BJP has lost sheen with failures in all fronts, says Durai Vaiko

Exuding confidence that the INDIA bloc would register a resounding victory in all the 39 constituencies of Tamil Nadu in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, principal secretary of MDMK Durai Vaiko has said that the BJP, which was rapidly losing its sheen after having failed on all fronts of governance, has pinned its hopes only on tampering with the electronic voting machines for its victory in 370-odd segments.

Speaking to reporters here on Tuesday, Mr. Durai Vaiko said the BJP government at the Centre had lost its sheen after encountering failures on all fronts even as the INDIA bloc had been gaining people’s trust across the country. Even though a few parties had left the alliance, the INDIA bloc was strong enough to hand a crushing defeat to the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance. Hence, the INDIA bloc candidates would register a thumping victory in a majority of the Lok Sabha constituencies across the country.

 “However, the BJP is pinning its hopes on tampering the EVMs,” he said. He said the MDMK was hoping to contest in four Lok Sabha constituencies and the party cadres wanted him to contest from Virudhunagar. “However, the alliance party leaders’ decision will ultimately prevail,” he said.
