The DMK made a series of promises to woo voters in the Assembly polls in Tamil Nadu.To match the AIADMK government's free bicycle scheme for students, the DMK, in its manifesto released by party president M Karunanidhi here, promised to provide colour television sets to every family in the state. Likewise, it promised to give Rs.1,000 per month for six months to pregnant women to match the cash dole of Rs.1,000 in rural areas and Rs.2,000 in Chennai to the flood-hit people. Good quality rice at Rs 2 per kg and free power to weavers are the other promises made by the DMK.
