Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) spokesperson TKS Elangovan has vehemently rejected the allegations of attempts to subvert the TVK MLA. He said that this is a conspiracy and the opponents want to prove that we are doing horse trading (buying of MLAs).

Speaking to news agency IANS, TKS Elangovan said, “How can they (TVK) say that the DMK is involved in horse trading? They are just making a case. Why would the DMK buy an MLA? What is the benefit of it?”

“We are the main opposition party. We cannot form the government with just one MLA, nor is that one MLA going to defeat TVK chief Vijay. Then what is the purpose of buying an MLA? They are plotting and want to prove that we are horse trading,” he said.

TKS Elangovan said, “They (TVK) have talked about Rs 35 crore. What is the purpose of spending Rs 35 crore? He will have to resign from his post. We will have to spend money again for his election. What is the purpose of all this? They just want to accuse DMK of being involved in horse trading.”

On reports of AIADMK joining hands with DMK, TKS Elangovan said, “These are sheer lies. TVK is not acting like a political party. It is behaving like a ‘cinema party’ based on lies.

How can DMK and AIADMK together form government? These two parties have been political rivals for more than 50 years and have been in power in Tamil Nadu alternately. This claim is completely baseless.”

Meanwhile, on the Mekedatu Dam Project controversy, DMK spokesperson TKS Elangovan said, “This did not happen as long as we were in power. This started after the TVK-Congress alliance came to power. It is the responsibility of the Congress to answer the people of Tamil Nadu.”

They should stop this because it is wrong. Before starting any work on the river, it is necessary to obtain approval from the downstream states. This is an order of both the Tribunal and the Supreme Court. Let’s see what this government does.”
