AIADMK deputy general secretary T.T.V. Dinakaran on Tuesday expressed confidence that the ruling party would get the ‘two leaves’ symbol at the proposed hearing of the Election Commission on Wednesday.

Replying to a reporter’s query at the ruling party’s headquarters in Chennai, Mr. Dinakaran claimed the support of 95% of the members of the General Council of the party, as many as 122 Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) [out of 135 including the Speaker] and 37 Members of Parliament (MP) [out of 50 MPs of the party].

Reiterating that he would be the candidate in Dr. Radhakrishnan Nagar constituency, he said he would file his nomination papers on Thursday morning.

To another query, the AIADMK deputy general secretary said a manifesto for the R.K. Nagar byelection would be made public in a few days.
