Directors on anti-Congress campaign

A group of Tamil cinema directors, led by Bharathiraja and Seeman, will be undertaking a tour of Tamil Nadu on a political campaign of a different kind. They will not be supporting any political party, instead will urge the people to not vote for any Congress candidate. The constituencies where they will be focusing most of their energies are Salem, Erode and Sivagangai, which are generally considered as the Congress Party’s strongholds, mainly due to the big names contesting from those places.

K.V. Thangabalu, EVKS Elangovan and the current Union Home Minister P Chidambaram are the contestants from these three constituencies, respectively. It will be interesting to see the people’s response in the election to the directions given by the directors. Will they prevail over the big and experienced names from the party in power at the center?
