Ganesh Ji,
You are right.
Here is the relevant news item on PUTHIYA SAKTHI fRONT. ISHING THE FRONT 'ALL THE BEST'.
Is another Aam Aadmi Party in the making in Tamil Nadu?
Excerpt:
“Without celebrities or money, it is very difficult to take on the big parties, but we are making a beginning and are in for the long haul. We have grassroots workers who expose corruption and civil society members who have been fighting money power in the state elections,” Armugam says.
He says more than 50 organisations have joined hands to form the PSF and the outfit’s leaders are interviewing potential candidates for 234 assembly seats. One such candidate is Sathya Durairaj, a young television journalist. She says she has always wanted to become a politician.
“I have always wanted to get into politics to serve people but I never knew how to do so. One day, my friend linked me to the PSF’s website. I attended the interview for the candidates,” she says.
Durairaj has been shortlisted for a second interview, to be held next month. She says she is serious about contesting the elections if she is selected. “We want to infuse a new culture in politics, which has of late become an industry (business),” says Jagadeeswaran of Lok Satta Party, which is also part of the PSF. Will history repeat itself this year? Will the PSF become the Aam Aadmi Party of Tamil Nadu? Only time will tell.
