DMK will go the Congress way and perish in 10 years, says Annamalai

The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam will go the Congress way and perish in another 10 years, said Bharatiya Janata Party State president K. Annamalai in Coimbatore on Monday night.

“DMK will vanish in a few years, as predicted by DMK MP [Tiruchi] N. Siva’s son Surya Siva, who recently joined the BJP. This is because the family that is running the DMK thinks the party should be dependent on it. It also thinks nobody should grow politically,” he claimed. “This is what the Congress thought 10 years ago and look where the party is now,” he said.

There was no difference between the two parties, according to him. The DMK was right now where the Congress was and in 10 years the party would vanish and thereafter political strategist Prashant Kishor would offer the very advice to the DMK that he had offered the Congress now – that non-family members should run the party, Mr. Annamalai said reacting to DMK Dharmapuri MP S. Senthilkumar’s claim that two BJP MLAs were in touch with him.
