In the run-up to the Tamil Nadu assembly polls, DMDK and People’s Welfare Front (PWF) joined hands on Wednesday, to contest the polls, which are due in May this year. The leaders of PWF and DMDK had commenced talks at the DMDK headquarters early on Wednesday and later announced the alliance.
The PWF leaders- DMDK’s Vaiko, CPI (M) and CPI State Secretaries G Ramakrishnan and R Mutharasan respectively and VCK chief Thirumavalavan – arrived at the DMDK headquarters this morning. On 10th March, the DMDK had announced its decision of contesting the polls alone and had invited the ‘like-minded parties’ for talks. It had, however, indicated that such parties should accept Vijayakanth as the CM candidate.

Previously, DMK and BJP had tried to rope in the actor-turned politician into their alliance.
BJP President Amit Shah, who is to arrive in Chennai on Wednesday, is scheduled to attend a religious function, but no major programs or meetings with potential allies are lined.
