I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is E. R. Eswaran, and I am the General Secretary of Kongu Nadu Munnetra Kazhagam (KMK), a political party launched to address the problems of Kongu Nadu.

For the last 61 years since our Independence, this part of the country has been consistently ignored by all the parties and politicians and this is well reflected from the fact that a city like Coimbatore, which is the second largest city in Tamil Nadu and with indomitable private entrepreneurial spirit doesn’t even have one Public Sector Company, doesn’t have proper infrastructural facilities that is due to it. Why are we in this state? This is because of the fact that the political parties that have represented us in the past didn’t have an agenda and didn’t have the vision to develop Coimbatore. This is truly the reason why the people of Kongu Nadu have now come together and started Kongu Nadu Munnetra Kazhagam. The Support for the party can be gauged from the fact that 13 lah people participated in the Conference (MANNAADU) that was organized by the party on February 15, 2009 at Karumathampatti, making it the most successful political event ever in this part of the Country.

With an agenda and focus on development of this part of the Country, I stand before you and present my vision for the development of this constituency. If elected as the Member of Parliament for Coimbatore, I solemnly pledge that I will leave no stone unturned to make my vision as a reality. I also pledge that I will present a yearly Action report, that will be a self performance appraisal against the promises that I am making through my Vision 20.
