Mr Vaiko also claimed that the prices of essential commodities, including cooking gas, had skyrocketed during Congress rule at the Centre and in Pondicherry and exhorted people to vote the AIADMK front to power to roll back the prices.

Mr Vaiko is scheduled to address a public meeting at Thirubhuvanai where party candidate Ms Komala is contesting one of the two seats alloted to the party by the AIADMK.
