Chennai, Jan 2 (IANS) Vanniar community-based party PMK, at its general council meeting here Thursday, resolved to work for the victory of the Social Democratic Front candidates in the forthcoming general elections.
According to the party, the front was formed in 2010 to follow the social democratic policies laid down by PMK founder S. Ramadoss. The front is a combination of different caste parties.
PMK leader Ramadoss had earlier announced that the party will not align with any of the two Dravidian parties – AIADMK and DMK – in the state.

The PMK also condemned the DMK party and the Tamil Nadu government for not pressuring the centre to take such an action.
