Enthused
by the response of the people, there
are unconfirmed reports that Vijayakanth’s
wife, Premalatha could contest from
the Madurai constituency which fell
vacant after the unfortunate demise
of PTR Palanivel Rajan, former Minister
for Religious Endowments in the
new DMK government. Vijayakanth
is a native of Madurai. But he did
not contest from the town out of
various reasons. Madurai had benefited
from PTR’s good offices and
therefore, Vijayakanth must be banking
on the expectations of the people
to continue the welfare projects.
