DMDK leader Premalatha on Wednesday hit out at DMK Treasurer M K Stalin, asking him "not to do cheap politics by luring DMDK partymen" to his party fold.

Referring to Yuvaraj, North Chennai DMDK secretary, joining DMK, she said, "Stalin is doing cheap politics by luring" DMDK partymen.

Addressing an election meeting, she urged her partymen not fall prey to "offers made by DMK or others", and said the district secretaries would get a fair chance to become ministers if they come to power.

Earlier in the day, Yuvaraj joined DMK in the presence of senior party leaders in Chennai.

Contrary to demands of her allies, including MDMK and Left parties, to close state-run TASMAC liquor outlets, she said sales at such shops would be reduced in a phased manner, if her party was elected to power.

Petrol would be sold at Rs 45 per litre irrespective of price fixed by petroleum companies, she said.

She assured the gathering that her party would take steps to improve infrastructure facilities in Dindigul, Tiruchirappalli, Tuticorin, among others.
