DMK stumped by ED action against Marans, to rework strategy
3 April 2015 5:31 AM IST
DMK on Thursday said it should not be targeted following the action by Enforcement Directorate (ED) against Dayanidhi Maran and his family members.
After the ED attached assets worth Rs 742.58 crore of Dayanidhi Maran and his family members, DMK is looking to fine tune its strategy to ensure that the issue does not cost it politically. "What is our party's link to Sun TV or the so called Aircel-Maxis deal case? Nothing," a senior DMK leader told a news agency adding, "Dayanidhi Maran may have been the telecom minister but the party cannot be targeted for it."
He, however, said the party will "fine tune its strategy" to ensure that its present aggressive campaign against the ruling AIADMK ahead of next year's Assembly polls is not blunted by political rivals following ED action. Parties including main opposition DMDK and PMK have been campaigning that both AIADMK and DMK are parties that have to be ignored, charging both are corrupt and have "ruined Tamil Nadu" by ruling it alternately for almost 50 years. Conceding that political rivals will try to use the issue against DMK, he said the party will make it clear to the people when needed that it has nothing to do with the issue.
