CHENNAI: Vasigaran, founder of the Desiya Jananaayaga Katchi, who is the latest entrant in the Aam Admi Party in Tamil Nadu , addressed a joint press conference along with the AAP ’s state campaign convener David Barun Kumar on Wednesday.

“As social activists we have wanted to see a change happening and we have always worked to facilitate social betterment. Now when we see AAP emerging as the vehicle for such a change, it makes sense to be part of this vehicle and strengthen the overall movement towards making a positive change,” said Vasigaran.

Barun Kumar said that the number of constituencies and candidates would be released soon. He also said that strong candidates would be fielded against DMK’s A Raja and Dayanidhi Maran.
