VCK to chant Ambedkar's name 1K times in Chennai stir

- EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE @ Chennai

VCK deputy general secretary Vanniyarasu said the cadre working at the grassroots wish the party to contest in 25 assembly seats in the 2026 assembly elections. However, VCK president Thol Thirumavalavan clarified that this was Vanniyarasu's personal opinion, emphasising the number of seats would be decided during alliance negotiations.

Vanniyarasu, in a TV interview, said parties are entering into an alliance with the VCK only after knowing its strength. "The VCK has played a decisive role in the victories of the 2019, 2021, and 2024 elections."

Speaking about the party's acceptance among the non-Dalits, Vanniyarasu said there was a time when non-Dalits wouldn't vote for the VCK. However, this situation has changed due to the party president Thol Thirumavalavan's hard work and political strategisation. "Thirumavalavan has become a leader accepted across communities," he added.
