00:00The news of another alliance, this time from Tamil Nadu, it seems NDA is becoming stronger
00:05with the PMK now joining their alliance along with AIADMK. The PMK's leader, Abu Mani Rao
00:13Madas, has joined the NDA ahead of the polls. He met up with EPS, who is the leader of the
00:18AIADMK and this deal is sealed. He is now part of NDA. Now, this alliance is supposed to boost
00:27the crucial Vanyaar vote bank in the state and it is expected that Ramadawes will help
00:34consolidate any anti-DMK vote bank. He spoke exclusively to India Today's Anakha Keshav.
00:47The reason for us joining this alliance is to remove the corrupt and inefficient DMK government
00:55in Tamil Nadu. The last five years, five years in Tamil Nadu has been the worst five years
01:01in the history of Tamil Nadu. And we have seen corruption at the peak, no safety for women
01:07and children, rampant abuse of alcohol and substance in school children and in college children
01:15everywhere. Farmers are very angry and upset with this government. Agriculture has been
01:22in the negative in the last two years. There is no growth negative. And unemployment is
01:27at the peak. ADMK and PMK are a natural alliance, like in the past, like we have come together
01:34numerous times. So this alliance is going to be a mega alliance and some more parties we
01:39expect to join this alliance.
