Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (Tamil: மறுமலர்ச்சி திராவிட முன்னேற்றக் கழகம்; English: Renaissance Dravida Progressive Congress; abbreviated as MDMK) is a political party active in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry. It was established by Vaiko in 1994.

History

Formation of MDMK

Vaiko was a member of Rajyasabha and a party activist of Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam. Vaiko grew in the party from his student days and actively participated in the party agitations and courted imprisonment several times. He was elected thrice to the Rajya Sabha and attracted the attention of many in parliament. In 1994, he was forced out of the parent body as he was seen as a threat to DMK chief Karunanidhi's son M.K. Stalin. Vaiko along with some district secretaries announced the decision to start rival DMK ultimately leading to naming of the part as MDMK.

Support to LTTE

Vaiko's sympathy for the cause of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam is widely known. He visited to the Jungles in Vavuniya to meet LTTE supremo Velupillai Prabhakaran.

Hey girls, take your time
Do what girls have to do
Swimming in ocean, swimming in bed
Girls are nasty, their body's sweat
Turn my music loud and clear
And scream the words I want to hear
On vacation, on TV
We see how lady's want to be
You can turn me on, you can turn me around
So scream and shout
You can turn me around, you can turn me around
So scream and shout
You can turn me on, you can turn me around
So scream and shout
You can turn me around, you can turn me around
So scream and shout
Hey girls, hey girls
Let's see what we could be
Footsteps in the white, cold snow
So make a run now, go, go, go
I'm away, we're away
Painting pictures on every face
So go, go, go in every land
Go, go, go on every friend
You can turn me on, you can turn me around
So scream and shout
You can turn me around, you can turn me around
So scream and shout
You can turn me on, you can turn me around
So scream and shout
You can turn me around, you can turn me around
So scream and shout
