as no one has contested against his nomination. |

Yesteryear actor Nallathambi has filed
nominations for the post of treasurer.
The interesting point in all this
is the fact that most of the candidates,
who have filed nominations, unequivocally
accepting Sarath Kumar as president,
are all from AIADMK like he is. Thanks
to younger generation artistes like
Simbhu, Prashanth, Abbas, Vindhiya
and Mumtaz, involving themselves this
elections, it looks like the SIAA
sure is headed in the right direction. |

| Sarath
Kumar, on the other hand, is on cloud number
nine as he has not met any opposition to
his nomination, and has stated that if he
wins, then the first thing he will do as
the president is to build a Nadigar Sangham
building that will come with a "wedding
hall, recreation club, conference halls,
film library, etc." and the income
thus generated will be used for the welfare
of its members.
