“Nothing is permanent in politics,” PMK president G.K. Mani said, fielding questions on why his party was reluctant to contest on its own and had decided to continue in the AIADMK alliance, despite criticising the government. He said the government did not face anti-incumbency, and had fulfilled the PMK’s demand for Vanniyar reservation, while also announcing a slew of schemes, including the farm loan waiver.

SALEM: Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) president GK Mani on Wednesday said party founder Dr Ramadoss would decide on alliances only after securing 20 per cent reservation for Vanniyars.
Addressing media persons on the sidelines of the general body meeting in Salem, Mani said, “We have made our stand clear to alliance partners. We need 20 per cent reservation. Dr Ramadoss would speak about alliance only if we get it. The 2016 elections proved that PMK is the third largest party in Tamil Nadu. We will seek seats based on our strength. (AIADMK) Ministers said they would meet Dr Ramadoss after Pongal festival. We expect good results.”
