AAP victory: Vaiko demands Modi govt's resignation

CHENNAI: BJP's Tamil Nadu ally PMK on Tuesday greeted Aam Aadmi Party convener Arvind Kejriwal for leading his party to victory in the Delhi assembly elections while the saffron party's erstwhile ally MDMK said it was a cue for the Prime Minister Narendra Modi government to resign.

"People have shown a silent democratic revolution. They have taught a lesson to the Hindutva forces and the Modi government which has been supporting them," MDMK leader Vaiko said in a statement.


"The Modi government, which has lost the support of people, should step down. To further enhance the pride of Indian democracy, fresh elections should be held," he said.


Condemning Hindutva forces for their activities, including efforts to establish temples for Gandhiji assassin Nathuram Godse, he said that continuation of the BJP government would result in fascism.

Vaiko alleged that the NDA government had been acting to safeguard the interests of the corporates.


He urged all progressive democratic forces to join hands to unseat the BJP government.


While congratulating Kejriwal, PMK leader S Ramadoss said the reason for AAP's success was "simple" -- people were yearning for change due to "corruption" in the administration.


In a statement, Ramadoss said, "Kejriwal realized and respected the feelings of the people, and people have handed over the reins to him."


He also said Kejriwal should handle the victory with responsibility and should not commit the mistake done earlier.


Meanwhile, PMK leader and former Union minister Anbumani Ramadoss tweeted: "PMK is going to do what Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has done in Delhi for next year's election in Tamil Nadu!"


He also tweeted: "Today Kejriwal tsunami in Delhi! Next year PMK tsunami in Tamil Nadu!"
