CHIDAMBARAM: The Democratic Progressive Alliance (DPA) is strong and intact. Minor differences are bound to arise in coalition politics, but these are only a passing phenomenon and would not impact the alliance, said M. Krishnasswamy, president, Tamil Nadu Congress Committee. He made this observation while fielding a question at a press conference here on Monday as to whether the differing stands of the constituents would have any dent in the DPA. As for power sharing in Tamil Nadu, only All India Congress Committee leader Sonia Gandhi and Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi were competent to speak, he said. Mr. Krishnasswamy termed the visit of Mr. Karunanidhi to the TNPCC office, Sathyamurthi Bhavan, as historic. He thanked the Chief Minister for having renamed Old Mahabalipuram Road as Rajiv Gandhi Road, as a fitting tribute to the late leader’s dream to make India scientifically and technologically a strong nation. For greater support
To strengthen the party’s presence at the grassroots level, the partymen would hoist party flags in villages all over the State, he said. He inaugurated the event at Ammapet in Chidambaram block on Monday. The partymen would create awareness among the villagers of the advantages of the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme and Rajiv Gandhi’s endeavour to make villages self-sufficient. Mr. Krishnasswamy said he would soon replace the inactive DCC presidents and office-bearers. On Tata project
Referring to the Tata’s proposed titanium dioxide project in Tuticorin, the TNPCC president said the study team led by him would soon present its report to the Chief Minister. While one section of the local population opposed the project, another welcomed it. There were also opinions that the government should set up the unit on its own, he said. Regarding the proposed delimitation of the Assembly and Lok Sabha constituencies, Mr. Krishnasswamy said the Election Commission should take cognisance of the views of the people before obtaining the Presidential assent. On the controversy over the Indo-U.S. nuclear deal, Mr. Krishnasswamy said Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was internationally acclaimed for his pragmatic approach to crucial issues and that his decision would always be in national interest. He ruled out the possibility of a snap poll.
