All the political parties in Tamil Nadu are gearing up for an intense battle in the upcoming assembly polls which will take place on May 16th. While the primary contest is between the ruling AIADMK chief and the state’s CM Jayalalithaa and DMK’s old horse Karunanidhi, Telugu film producer Kethireddy Jagadeeswar Reddy has surprised everyone by taking on Jayalalithaa.
Kethireddy, the president of Telugu Yuva Sakthi’s Tamil Nadu wing, has filed his nomination in Jayalalithaa’s RK Nagar constituency and he is confident of giving a tough fight to the CM. The producer will be contesting as an independent candidate. He is also contesting from Hosur constituency, where a majority of Teluguites reside.
Explaining the reason behind him taking part in the election, Kethireddy said that Jayalalithaa’s government grossly neglected the sentiments and welfare of Teluguites in Tamil Nadu and that she had even tried to oppress Telugu language by introducing compulsory Tamil education in government schools. He vowed to voice Telugu sentiments in the legislative assembly and fight for the cause of Teluguites.
