Alliance party members will attend, participate and address it. The public meeting will be coordinated by Kanchipuram South District and North District," Anbarasan said.
Earlier on Wednesday, Tamil Nadu Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin dismissed the speculation regarding his elevation as Deputy Chief Minister.
Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Udhayanidhi said that such decisions will be taken by the Chief Minister and asked the media to not do it on his behalf.
On the Deputy CM post, Udhayanidhi asked, "Who said like that?"
"CM will take the decision, and you don't take a decision on it. All ministers are and will be with CM. You have to ask the CM. It is totally CM's right to decide about it," he added.
