DMK women's wing chief Kanimozhi today dismissed the AIADMK's manifesto for the May 16 assembly elections, saying there was nothing new in it.

"There is nothing new in the manifesto. This is only a myth being created among the people. When the party had failed to fulfill its last election promises, how can people expect this to be implemented," she told reporters here.

The AIADMK manifesto released earlier this week promised freebies, including free mobile phone and 100 units of power, if the party was elected to power again.

Alleging that cash was seized from the vehicle of a political leader by the flying squad personnel, she said the Election Commission should adopt strict methods to flush out money meant for distribution among the voters.
 

They should intensify the searches as the money was found in a van of a candidate, Kanimozhi, daughter of DMK chief M Karunanidhi and a Rajya Sabha member, said.

On the different projections by various opinion polls, she said DMK was not giving much attention to them.
