MDMK founder Vaiko on Wednesday dismissed calls by a group of dissenters to merge his party with its parent outfit, the DMK, saying the same group had tried to create confusion when the MDMK’s alliance with the ruling party was going strong.
Addressing journalists after the party’s general council meeting in Chennai, he said the group wanted an alliance with the AIADMK, and some of them were upset because they were not given a ticket to contest last year’s Assembly election.
