PWF Convenor Vaiko said people had already begun cursing both the parties and were having high expectations in their combine.
Four-party Peoples Welfare Front (PWF), led by MDMK chief Vaiko, today claimed it has emerged as an alternative for AIADMK and DMK and would come to power in the upcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, saying the outcome would be a repeat of 1967 polls when Congress was dethroned.
Leaders of the front, addressing a well-attended public meeting in Coimbatore held to highlight its common minimum programme, said people were upset with the DMK and AIADMK which have ruled the state alternately since 1967.
PWF Convenor Vaiko said people had already begun cursing both the parties and were having high expectations in their combine, which also comprises CPI(M), CPI and Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi.
The continuous rule by DMK and AIADMK had taken Tamil Nadu backward, to a point of no return, he charged.
He also attacked the AIADMK government for 'failure' to take any steps to solve the ongoing agitations by government employees, power loom job working unit owners.
VCK chief Thol Thirumavalavan said the 2016 polls would be a repeat of the 1967 elections in which the Congress was ousted by the then nascent DMK. The people were disenchanted with the Congress government then and saw DMK as an alternative for a change.
Similarly, PWF had emerged as an alternate to both the major Dravidian parties, and would provide a corruption-free rule, free from caste and communal politics, he claimed.
CPI(M) state secretary, G Ramakrishnan asserted that the front, if voted to power, would appoint Lokayukta immediately on assuming power and take steps to confiscate properties "amassed" by the leaders of DMK and AIADMK.
All the leaders who spoke on the occasion, promised a corruption-free, transparent administration by utilising the services of honest officials like U Sagayam.
