Naam Tamilar Katchi chief Seeman on Sunday paid floral tributes to the statute of Iyothee Thass Pandithar, a renowned anti-caste activist and an early proponent of the Dravidian ideology, in Tambaram. On the occasion, he contended that only his party, and not the DMK, will be able to implement the ideas of the Dravidar Kazhagam founder Periyar E V Ramasamy. Mr. Seeman said while NTK has given seats to equal number of women and men in the latest parliamentary elections, DMK has only used ‘social justice’ as an empty statement. “It should be considered a big deal that we gave an equal number of seats to men and women. We believe in equality of the sexes. It is social justice. How many Muslims and Christians were given tickets by the DMK? They gave one seat to IUML and that was all,” he said. Mr. Seeman also opposed the plan to build Vallalar International Centre in Cuddalore’s Vadalur. “We are not against building a centre for Vallalar. It can be built elsewhere and more money may …

Speaking at a campaign in Purasaiwalkam in support of his party’s Chennai South, Chennai Central, and Chennai North candidates, Mr. Seeman urged the communities that have announced boycott to participate in the democratic process. “Don’t boycott elections. Instead, just tell the political parties that you won’t vote for them if they don’t support your fight. If you don’t like anyone, even if it is Naam Tamilar Katchi, start a political party of your own and fight the elections,” he said. Mr. Seeman also discouraged voters against voting for NOTA. “It is like cooking a nice meal and throwing it in the dustbin immediately. Don’t …

We don’t want to be one of the parties; we want to be the number one party in Tamil Nadu: Seeman

Naam Tamilar Katchi chief Seeman. Chennai Naam Tamilar Katchi co-ordinator Seeman on Saturday reiterated the party’s commitment to contesting alone in the upcoming Lok Sabha 2024 elections and said the party wants to be “the number 1 party in Tamil Nadu and not one of the many parties in Tamil Nadu” at the party’s general body meeting held here in Chennai. The party has steadily grown in Tamil Nadu’s electoral politics: from getting a vote share of around 1% in the 2016 State Assembly election, the party polled 3.9% of the votes in 2019 Lok Sabha elections and cornered around 6.9% in the 2021 Assembly election. Speaking at the meeting, Mr. Seeman rejected the notion that contesting the elections without supporting a Prime Minister candidate is a disadvantage. “They ask me, ‘Who is your Prime Ministererial candidate?’ Tell me one good thing that has happened to Tamils in the 10 years of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh or Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s tenure? It is not important whether NTK can win or not. The question to …
