Even if the AIADMK emerged victorious in a single seat, the victory would be a ‘BJP MLA' and hence people should vote for his party and its allies in the April 6 Assembly elections, DMK president M K Stalin appealed to the electorate on Sunday.

In his campaign at Uthiramerur, Stalin said he had been saying that his party-led combine would win 200 out of 234 segments in Tamil Nadu. However, considering the feedback from the people to his campaign across the state, the DMK top leader said, "only we are going to win in all the 234 constituencies."

Even if the AIADMK won a single seat in Tamil Nadu, the victor would not be an "AIADMK MLA but only the BJP MLA." The lone AIADMK Lok Sabha Member of Parliament from Theni, P Ravindhranath, who is the son of Deputy Chief Minister O Panneerselvam functioned only as a ‘BJP MP' and this proved his contention, he claimed. "...we should not allow the BJP (to win) and similarly, the AIADMK also must not come (succeed)," he said.
