Chennai: TNCC president K Selvaperunthagai said it was unfortunate that Tamil Maanila Congress (TMC) led by G K Vasan has joined hands with BJP. The true cadres of TMC would be against the decision of their leader, he said.
In a statement issued on Monday, the TNCC chief said G K Moopanar, who left the Congress and established the TMC, had struck an alliance with DMK in 1996, and won in 20 Lok Sabha constituencies from Tamil Nadu.After the victory, he extended support to Congress. In April 1999, the TMC supported the no-confidence motion moved by Congress against the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government that resulted in its downfall, Selvaperunthagai said. The TMC led by Moopanar subsequently merged with Congress. Today, Vasan has forsaken his father’s ideology and joined BJP alliance, said the TNCC chief.
Meanwhile, TNCC appointed senior leaders as vice presidents and general secretary of the state unit. Anand Srinivasan has been appointed as chairman of Tamil Nadu PCC media and communication department. A Gopanna and Sorna Sethuraman have been appointed as vice presidents and D Selvam, K Thanikachalam and N Arul Pettiah as general secretaries, said a party release.
