Chennai, May 2 : The DMK, which seems set to come to power in Tamil Nadu, on Sunday requested the Election Commission to replace the Returning Officer of the Viralimalai Assembly constituency for malpractice and count the votes as per law.
In its complaint, the DMK said around 4,000 votes polled in favour of the party candidate Palaniappan were counted in favour of AIADMK candidate and Health Minister C. Vijayabaskar, who was shown to be leading with about 3,000 votes.
