AIADMK Chose Me As I Have Potential To Win Against MK Stalin: Aadirajaram

Aadirajaram canvassing for votes

Tell us about your winning prospects?

It is very high. In the absence of local body representatives, as an MLA, Stalin has failed to fulfil his basic responsibilities. Wherever you go, there are issues related to roads and water access. For example, two streets in Rajaji Nagar are facing difficulty in accessing water for the last two years. There are around 3,000 manholes in the constituency, and more than half of them are damaged.

Tell us about your Communist roots and when and how you started your political journey?
