: All India NR Congress founder and Chief Minister N. Rangasamy who is contesting from Indira Nagar wrapped up his final round of campaigning in the constituency on Saturday.
Mr. Rangasamy went around the constituency and said that since he was engaged in campaigning across the Union Territory he couldn’t meet the electorate. He said he would meet the voters after the completion of the election process.
In an emotionally choked speech, Mr. Rangasamy said that the party was first launched in Indira Nagar constituency and had grown with the strong support of voters in the constituency. He also appealed to the voters not to accept free sugar packets allegedly supplied by an opposition candidate. The voters should prove that they would always extend their support to the AINRC.
He said that his government had fulfilled all the promises held out to the people in the last five years and implemented several welfare initiatives. The government had provided jobs to all.
He also pointed out that 20 kg of free rice promised in the party’s election manifesto would be enhanced to 30 kg per month to all cardholders in the UT.
Financial assistance for widows under the Rajiv Gandhi Social Security Scheme would also be enhanced from Rs.50,000 to Rs.1 lakh if the AINRC was voted to power in the elections.
Earlier, Mr. Rangasamy campaigned for his party candidate T. Thiagarajan in Bahour constituency.
He appealed to the voters in the constituency to re-elect him. He said that the party had denied seats to those who had not done any good and were harbouring ill-will.
