Captain plays it cool on last day

Slogans of 'C for captain, C for change' and 'Captain dum dum dum' rent the air as

DMDK

leader and actor

Vijayakant

campaigned in Ulundurpet on Saturday . He's been living in the constituency since May 8, and covered all the 18 wards on Saturday seeking votes.

He didn't make major speeches and 'the captain' mostly played it cool. He spent an hour on Twitter answering queries from users, visited people in Ulundurpet, and saved his best for the last public meeting in the evening."How many kilometres will you travel to pay power bills? 5km? How many Tasmac shops are there on your road? We will change this scenario," he began, striking a conversation with the public. A Vijayakant meeting without a minor skirmish is a rarity . In his typical style, he told DMDK cadres to "behave yourselves" and then directed VCK cadres, who had gathered in large numbers carrying party flags, to remain quiet so he could speak. He directed them to lower the flags and pass them to those standing at the corners as they blocked his view of the crowd.

His brother-in-law and party youth wing leader L K Sudheesh was in Ulundurpet, while his wife Premalatha was canvassing votes in Chennai. VCK leader Thol Thirumavalavan joined him at the meeting.

When asked on Twitter why educated youth were not a part of his campaign he replied: "You are always welcome."
