AIADMK candidate Aatral Ashok Kumar stated his dedication to public service rather than personal gain during his campaign across over 50 villages in Dharapuram, Tiruppur district.
Tirupur: During a recent election campaign in Dharapuram, near Tiruppur district, AIADMK's Erode parliamentary candidate Aatral Ashok Kumar, provided clarity on his motives for entering politics.
Campaigning across over 50 villages including Rangampaalayam, Koneripatti division, Ponnivaadi, and Avinashipuram colony, he emphasized that his political career is driven by a commitment to serve the public rather than personal financial gain. "If I were after money, I would have opted for another profession," he declared during his campaign trail.
In the presence of key AIADMK members such as the Secretary of the AIADMK Moolanur South Union Rajarathinam, and the Chairman of the Ponnivaadi Village Council Panneerselvam, Kumar reiterated the party's historical contributions. He recalled how the late AIADMK General Secretary Jayalalithaa provided gold for women's marriages, a tradition extended by making four grams of gold to eight grams under the leadership of Edappadi Palaniswami. Kumar also criticized the current DMK administration for halting this initiative and not managing the fiscal resources efficiently to continue public service schemes like marriage assistance for educated girls, which increased under AIADMK's rule to Rs 50,000.
The candidate also highlighted the DMK government's failure to control price hikes and its focus on increasing revenue through liquor stores and alleged sales of drugs, contrasting it with AIADMK's governance that focused on public welfare. He pointed out the irony of the DMK government not spending the significantly large funds received from the central government for the state's welfare.
Kumar expressed his personal commitment by mentioning that he has spent his own money over the past years to fulfill people's needs and reiterated his readiness to serve rather than earn, emphasizing a stark contrast in governance and priorities between AIADMK and DMK.
