TINDIVANAM:
The Pattali Makkal Katchi has proposed to field more new faces, particularly youths, in the Assembly elections, according to S. Ramadoss, its founder.
He told reporters at Thailapuram near here on Sunday that a list of candidates would be ready in a day or two. The party president, G.K. Mani, was in Chennai giving final touches to the seat-sharing arrangement. In all 6,150 candidates, of them 10 per cent were women, had aspired to contest the elections. Asked how many women could be accommodated in the list, Dr. Ramadoss said that it depended on various factors such as the aptitude of the candidates, their qualifications, involvement in the party works and the winning chances.
As for the seat-sharing arrangement with the DMK, Dr. Ramadoss said that everything would be O.K. in a couple of days. About the party's election plank, Dr. Ramadoss said that besides delineating the party's policies and programmes, it would highlight several good things done by the DMK government such as the much-talked about Kalaignar Health Scheme, Kalaignar Housing Scheme, “108” ambulance service and the 100-day job scheme. Dr. Ramadoss ruled said that 75 per cent of the work on the party manifesto was over and it would be ready in a week.
Food security
The thrust would be on achieving food security and ensuring remunerative prices for agricultural produce.
