Madurai: The leader of the ‘We the Leaders’ movement, Annamalai, said that it will very soon turn into a political party.
An award ceremony for those engaged in the work of cleaning the Vaigai River, organized by the group, was held in Madurai yesterday. At the event, the organization’s chief coordinator, Annamalai, presented the awards and said: We have cleaned a 33-acre area in the Madurai Vaigai River, including the spot where Kallazhagar enters the river, from Aug. 3 onward. In this work, 163 tons of garbage have been collected.
Vee The Leaders has been launched with the aim of bringing about a new politics and a new awakening in Tamil Nadu. On behalf of this organization, 10.17 lakh saplings have been planted. On the 105th day since the organization began, the number of members has crossed 20 lakh. The time has come to remove political garbage as well.
Cholavandan MLA has said that jallikattu is ruining the youth. At that time, the Chief Minister, who was present in the Assembly, should have objected to the TVK MLA’s speech. Our language should be valued highly. For that reason, one should not say that there is no need to learn another language.
The temple consecration at Meenakshi Amman Temple was sold like black-market cinema tickets, with “passes” being sold. Only VIPs were allowed to witness the consecration.
The public was not allowed in. The temple’s mada streets were used to park VIP vehicles. Holy water was sprinkled on only four people. Water was merely splashed on the others. Police officers who should have been carrying out security duties were used to spray water on the public.
A ban on cell phones in temples is not justified. If this is done, the number of devotees coming to the temple will decrease. We were the first to raise our voice against this. In the Legislative Assembly, they talk about all sorts of things. They do not talk about what needs to be talked about.
We do not fully accept Periyar. We accept women’s liberation and the eradication of caste. We do not accept the policy of atheism or the opposition from Brahmins. When we come to power, the atheistic inscription in front of the Srirangam temple will be removed. It is certain that this movement will soon become a political party.
The Chief Minister should not have gone to London to attract investments. That is old-style politics. There is no money in England. There is only one percent growth there. How can investments come from there? The Tamil Nadu Chief Minister should come to Coimbatore and Madurai, speak with industrialists, announce incentives, and tell them to expand industries across the state.
The TVK government should be given one year’s time. Even if we come to power tomorrow, we would need one year. Under the We The Leaders movement, 30,000 people should be enrolled as members in each constituency. He said this.
