DMDK bid to enter record books

Seeking to enter the Guinness Book of World Records, actor-politician Vijaykant's DMDK claimed to have organised "the biggest-ever" flex hoarding campaign with a length of 1,000 kms, stretching across Tamil Nadu.

Party flags and flex banners were erected along the roads from four different places leading to this town in western Tamil Nadu, a senior DMDK functionary said after Vijaykant inaugurated the People Rights Retrieval Conferencethe Conference of the party.

DMDK youth wing leader L K Sudhish told reporters that the banner campaign was held from party headquarters in Chennai to the conference venue here, covering a distance of 350 km.

Similarly, the party festoons and banners lined up the road from Tirumangalam in Madurai to Salem, a distance of 310 km, Coimbatore-Salem NH for a distance of 165 KM and Vridhachalam, Vijaykant's assembly consituency, to Salem, about 210 kms, he said, adding this was a "record feat."
Vijaykant, who has fought all elections on his own since forming the party in 2005, is expected to announce at the conference his electoral strategy for the assembly polls due in May.
