With 2 Wins, VCK To Become Fifth In TN To Get 'State Party' Tag
The New Indian Express
|June 05, 2024
BY winning two constituencies -Chidambaram and Villupuram - under its own 'pot' symbol in the 2024 Lok Sabha election, the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) may fulfil its long-pending ambition of securing the status of a recognised party in the state.
If successful, VCK would become the fifth political party in Tamil Nadu after the DMK, AIADMK, PMK and the DMDK to earn the recognition.
Despite concerns among alliance members of the INDIA bloc over the party contesting on its 'pot' symbol, VCK founder Thol Thirumavalavan won from Chidambaram constituency with a margin of over one lakh votes. This is in contrast to the victory he secured in the 2019 election, when he defeated the AIADMK candidate by a margin of only 3,219 votes. His party was in alliance with the DMK then too.
