Chennai: Education, a permanent house, a motorcycle, and a car for all are among the aspirational goals of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam, party chief Vijay said on Sunday while invoking iconic leader MGR's legacy.
He said he would talk about the tragic Karur stampede sometime later. The TVK would unveil its vision for the people in its manifesto ahead of the Assembly election next year, Vijay said, adding he would, however, like to share some of the aspects of the party's aspirational goals.
Addressing cadres, supporters and the people, Vijay spoke in detail about the sufferings of the weavers of Kancheepuram who produce world-class silk and handloom fabrics and accused the state government of ignoring them like it ignored the farmers in the Delta districts.
Vijay addressed his supporters and people, brought in batches from Kancheepuram district in vehicles, at an auditorium in Sunguvarchattiram.
He said, "If we come to power, wait, we will come; the people will certainly bring us to power. Won't the people willingly bring in a government for the sake of people? We will definitely give a detailed explanation of what we intend to do in our government in our election manifesto. But before that, I want to touch upon it."
The TVK chief said, "Everyone must have a permanent house. Every household must certainly have a motorcycle. A car is also a goal; we must pave the way for economic development in order to attain it." Everyone in every household must have been educated at least up to the level of graduation, he said and added that at least one person in every household must have a permanent income.
"We must create employment opportunities for that. Correspondingly, we must reform the curriculum in education. Government hospitals must be changed so that people can trust them and go there without fear," Vijay said.
