DMDK, which forged an alliance with BJP to contest the Lok Sabha Polls on Monday, announced the party Chief Vijaykanth’s campaign slated to begin this week.

The actor-politician will undertake a 14-day campaign under the first phase across various districts in Tamil Nadu, a party release said.

Mr. Vijaykant will begin his campaign on March 14 at Gummidipoondi and conclude on March 27 at South Chennai constituency, it said.

BJP managed to bring on board the principal opposition party DMDK, Vanniyar-backed outfit PMK and Vaiko-led MDMK, besides a few other outfits to establish a formidable alliance to contest the ruling AIADMK and DMK in the Lok Sabha polls.
