The event was attended by KS Alagiri, the party-state president, and Srivella Prasad, the AICC secretary. The Congress party in Tamil Nadu, which had a rich legacy, is now struggling to recruit people. While speaking to IANS, R Padmanaban, a political observer of the Socio-Economic Development Foundation said the Congress is piggybacking the DMK and there is no fresh blood coming into the party. Hence in his desperation, the district president would have made such an offer to the cadres in the hope that at least some people would join the party through this method.
