- IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,January 29 2005]
Captain Vijayakanth is seeking re-election for the post of president of Nadigar Sangam, which is going to polls on Sunday.
Talking to mediamen on the eve of the polls, Vijayakanth said, "I will certainly emerge victorious in the polls and continue my good work for the association."
Along with Vijayakanth, Sarath Kumar is seeking re-election for the post of general secretary while Napolean and S S Chandran as in the fray for vice-president's posts.
Vijayakanth said "on getting re-elected our agenda would be to construct a shopping complex at the Nadigar Sangam premises and ensure that we get regular income out of it, which would be utilized for the welfare of the association. The monthly pension being extended to 100 veteran members of the association would be extended to 400 persons once our team gets re-elected."
Efforts would be taken to celebrate the golden jubilee of the association in a grand manner, he added.
The association goes to polls on Sunday and results will be declared that night. A small time actress Devi is contesting against Vijayakanth for the president's post. At the press meet on Friday evening, Vijayakanth was particularly scathing against the media for writing about some allegations that Devi had made against him.
Vijayakanth was strangely insistent that the Press should have clarified with him before publishing the charges that Chitra had made against him.
The point is most heroes are unavailable to the media when such items are published.
They are easily accessible only when their films are released or in times of elections.
