The Dravida Munnettra Kazhagam (DMK) will continue to urge the Centre to bring suitable amendments to the official Languages Act to make official languages of all States as official languages at the Centre, the manifesto released on Tuesday by party leader M. Karunanidhi stated.
Seeking to capitalise on the achievements of the DMK, when it was part of the Congress-led UPA at the Centre, the manifesto steered clear of any sops and freebies, but harped on reservation and social justice.
"The DMK will strive for inclusion of fishermen all over India in the list of Scheduled Tribes and to get all the concession available for STs," said the manifesto.
Mr. Karunanidhi said that the absence of a national party in DMK alliance would not cause any setback to it.
Asked who would be the Prime Ministerial candidate of the DMK alliance as both the BJP and the Congress have already projected Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi respectively as candidates for the post, he replied, “We would project other than these two.”
