AIADMK co-coordinator and Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami and DMK president M.K. Stalin are among the prominent leaders who are set to hit the campaign trail in Vellore to seek votes for candidates fielded by the respective parties for next month’s parliamentary polls in the constituency. AIADMK coordinator and Deputy Chief Minister O. Panneerselvam too will canvass for votes.
While the AIADMK has fielded New Justice Party founder A.C. Shanmugam (on the two leaves symbol), the DMK has given the ticket to D.M. Kathir Anand, son of party treasurer Duraimurugan. Naam Tamizhar Katchi has nominated S. Deepalakshmi. All three were in the fray in the constituency during April too when the polls were countermanded 48 hours before polling following evidence of attempted distribution of money to voters.
