Housing Minister S Muthusamy wanted unity of AIADMK. Addressing the DMK party meeting held at Veerappanchathram, Erode, in which over 400 persons of other parties led by BJP functionaries N Vinayakamurthy and Srinivasan, joined DMK, he said that his wish is unity of AIADMK and restoration of
Two Leaves symbol to that outfit.
With that party, BJP should align and campaign in the Erode East bypoll and oppose DMK. We want to defeat their candidate by a margin of 1 lakh votes. Such victory would alone prove our strength. We don't want to face a weak enemy. We will get pride only if we defeat a powerful enemy in the bypoll', he added. Ministers KN
Nehru, MRK Panneerselvam, Senthilbalaji also attended the function.
