‘We have wasted 57 years; time to re-capture power in Tamil Nadu,’ TNCC chief Selvaperunthagai tells cadres

Tamil Nadu Congress Committee president K. Selvaperunthagai has been telling the party’s cadre across the State that they have to work towards re-capturing power in the State, which it lost in the historic 1967 assembly election when the DMK rode to power.

Speaking to The Hindu after meeting the party workers in Dharmapuri district, Mr. Selvaperunthagai, who even recently praised Chief Minister M.K. Stalin’s three-year tenure, said the Congress had ‘wasted 57 years’ without power in Tamil Nadu.

“Today, we are forced to settle for meagre number of seats with our senior alliance partner. It is time to aspire for more,” he said.
