Swamy opined there would be a hung Assembly after the polls as people were ‘fed up’ with the ‘high levels’ of corruption by successive DMK and AIADMK alliances.

“Even if five Janata party MLAs are elected I can assure a corruption free next government,” he claimed.

On investigation into the 2G spectrum allocation scam,he said it was going on as per schedule and CBI was expected to file a chargesheet before March 31. “More people at higher levels will get exposed as investigation moves ahead,”he said.

He demanded the resignation of Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee for Enforcement Directorate’s ‘shoddy’ investigation in the Hasan Ali case,which enabled him get bail. “It is their duty to submit enough documents and establish the offence. It is obvious they did not do so for some strange reason,”he said The party’s poll plank would be corruption,inflation and lawlessness and they would also offer solutions,he said.
