Pollachi: The Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) candidate for Pollachi constituency, Mookambika Rathinam exposed the gifts that have been provided to the public by political parties.
Mookambika Rathinam, one among the few who brought out the Pollachi sexual abuse issue to light campaigned door-to-door yesterday. During the campaign, she spotted a gift box which resembled the election symbol of the AMMK.
"While we went campaigning, an elderly woman in a house pointed at the gift box and said that members of a political party who came before us had given her the gift box. She asked us since the election symbol of our party was the ‘torch light’ whether we would provide her with a torch light," stated Mookambika. "This is the proof for how these political parties have changed the minds of people. Since it is our first election, MNM has to get permission for everything," she added.
Mookambika reiterated that change should begin from people first.
