TN Should Seek Additional Power from Centre: PMK

Urging Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to immediately sanction a minimum of 1000 MW from the Central grid, he told reporters here that the state government also should set up more hydel power generation projects. He said PMK would contest the 2014 Lok Sabha elections on its own. However, if like minded political parties approached it, the party would lead a front, he said.
