There has not been a clear policy by the Centre on Tamils in India as well as Tamils in Sri Lanka.
We would bring about a change in that attitude and have new set of friends in Delhi,” AAP's Kanyakumari candidate and People's Movement Against Nuclear Energy co-ordinator Udayakumar told PTI.
Asked why the party has not fielded candidates in all 39 seats in the state, he said, “Since the party feels it would not be right to contest in all the 39 seats just for the sake of contesting, we have fielded candidates in constituencies, where we think we are good and strong.”
Two of his fellow activists, who protested against the commissioning of the nuclear plant at Kudankulam—M P Jesuraj and M Pushparayan—have been fielded by the AAP in Tirunelveli and Tuticorin constituencies respectively.
While major political alliances led by AIADMK, BJP and DMK, besides Congress are contesting all seats, Left parties will test their electoral fortunes in 18 seats together and AAP in about 23, throwing up a multi-corner fight.
