Cooker for votes - TTV Dinakaran next plan!
- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,March 12 2019]
Within a day of announcement of Lok Sabha elections by the Election Commission, TTV Dinakaran's Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam has started distributing token in the form of cookers, shirts and Dhotis in return for votes, and this has come across as a shocker for other political parties like DMK and ADMK.
Parties like DMK and ADMK are making discussions with their alliance parties to decide on which candidate to field in which constituency, and also making plans on selection of candidates to contest in elections. Within few days, all the parties will be announcing their candidates, and even before that, TTV Dinakaran's AMMK party members have started distributing cookers in Tanjavur.
While it is illegal to give cash or things in return for votes, AMMK members have given 3 liter cookers to people in Tanjavur and even before the announcement of election date, they had also distributed shirts and Dhotis. They have also reportedly informed people that this is the token and the money for votes will reach them later. As RK Nagar election's 20 Rs token distribution was exposed, this time around AMMK has planned token system with Cookers.
