Madurantakam and Dharapuram, both SC‑reserved constituencies in Tamil Nadu, will hold by‑elections next month, with AIADMK women candidates currently leading. Party chief Edappadi K. Palaniswami expressed confidence that AIADMK will secure both seats.
Justice D. Bharatha Chakravarthy allows an application filed by the resigned MLA S. Jayakumar, previously with the AIADMK but now with the TVK, to reject the election petition filed by Thoopu Venkatachalam of the DMK
The poll body has announced the bypoll only for Madurantakam and Dharapuram on October 6
Palaniswami also launched criticism against the social media posts made by the TVK-led Tamil Nadu government.
Responding to DMK members S. Austin and K. Nithyanandan and AIADMK member Tiruttani Ko. Hari in the Assembly, he says the changes have been made due to the ‘demands of the people’
The agitation would be held in the jallikattu area at Alanganallur on September 3
