VCK president Thol Thirumavalavan on Saturday reiterated his party's commitment to the Ambedkarite ideology, emphasizing that electoral gains are not enough to alter the political landscape of Tamil Nadu.

Addressing a gathering to discuss the book 'Iconoclast', a reflective biography of Dr B.R Ambedkar authored by Anand Teltumbde, husband of Ambedkar's granddaughter, Thirumavalavan declared VCK's continued allegiance to the DMK alliance and opposition to the BJP's agenda.

Thirumavalavan said that the VCK's focus was on social change and the party is not greedy for temporary political successes or power. While some may underestimate us socially, financially or even politically, no one can underestimate the strength of our ideological commitment, he said.
