Chennai: MDMK leader Vaiko on Tuesday said that the responsibility to implement the promised welfare schemes for the people now rests with the winning party.

MDMK contested in four Assembly constituencies as part of the DMK-led Secular Progressive Alliance (SPA).

To a question on parties in SPA extending support to TVK to form government, Vaiko said, "Our alliance is intact, and the unity has been proven all the time", he said and expressed confidence in the coalition's stability, claiming that no party would attempt to disrupt it.

With regard to the election results, he said: "In democracy, we have to respect the verdict given by the electorate. I respect them".
