But he has now gone missing and I am unable to reach him over phone,” Dhinakaran said, alleging that TVK could be behind the MLA’s disappearance.Kamaraj, who contested on the AMMK’s cooker symbol, defeated both the DMK and TVK candidates in Mannargudi constituency.Dhinakaran launched a sharp attack on Vijay for attempting to rope in DMK allies to form the govt after portraying the DMK as an “evil force” during the campaign. “Even before forming the govt, he is indulging in such activities. How will he provide a clean govt?” he asked.
