AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami said voters in Dharapuram and Madurantakam would reject Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam candidates in Tuesday’s by-elections. He accused the candidates of betraying the AIADMK and said TVK cadres were attempting to mislead voters.
AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami has criticised Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam candidates contesting by-elections in two Tamil Nadu Assembly constituencies. Palaniswami said voters in Dharapuram (SC) and Madurantakam (SC) would reject the TVK candidates when the constituencies vote on Tuesday.
His comments were issued in a statement on Sunday. He accused TVK cadres of trying to deceive voters in order to secure support. Palaniswami also described the two candidates as people who had betrayed the AIADMK.
“People are aware that the TVK cadre are trying to deceive them and get votes,” he said, according to the supplied report. He predicted that voters would give the candidates what he called a befitting lesson. The statement did not include a response from TVK or from the candidates criticised by Palaniswami.
It also did not provide details about their campaign positions or the reasons for the by-elections. The two constituencies are reserved for Scheduled Caste candidates, according to the constituency names cited in the report. Voting is scheduled for Tuesday.
The supplied material did not give polling dates beyond Tuesday, information about other candidates or the expected electoral contest in either seat.
