Pondicherry: Stating that both Tamil Nadu and Pondichery needed agriculturist chief ministers, Nationalist Congress Party leader GP Sarathy on Friday accused both DMK and AIADMK led fronts of having led the people to nowhere by projecting heroes of the tinsel town.
He also appealed the people to get out of the illusion created by cine actors and actresses in politics.
Claiming that his party has championed the cause of farmers, Sarathy said only an agriculturist chief minister could take Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry on the path of progress.
He also demanded a quota of 33 per cent for farmers in Parliament and state Assemblies.
He also announced party's plan to go it alone in the coming Assembly polls in Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry.
With regard to the constituencies in Mahe region, he said that the party has already decided to contest both seats.
Decision on the other constituencies in Pondicherry and Karaikal regions would be taken soon, the Tamil Nadu unit president of the party added.
Party leader G Sundaramoorthy has been appointed the president of NCP's Pondicherry state unit, he informed.
