The Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) and the Naam Tamilar Katchi (NTK), which harbour big ambitions in Tamil Nadu, are gearing up for the urban local bodies elections. In these elections, they see another opportunity to position themselves as the alternative to the DMK as well as the AIADMK.
PMK sources said the party would contest alone in the elections as announced by the leadership recently. But they underlined that the allotment of the post of Mayor of the municipal corporations in and around Chennai to the Scheduled Castes should have been avoided and the representation of the community should have been ensured across Tamil Nadu.
