For long fishermen issues in the region have been neglected
The AIADMK and the Congress are locking horns yet again in the Aranthangi Assembly constituency in Pudukottai district, making it almost a repeat of the 2016 contest.
The only change is the candidate fielded by the AIADMK, while the Congress which is an ally of the DMK-led secular front has retained the contestant who lost the battle on the previous occasion.
The AIADMK has brought back former MLA M. Rajanayagam, who won from the same constituency in the 2011 polls, to taken on the Congress candidate T. Ramachandran, son of six-time MLA from the same constituency and former Union Minister Su. Thirunavukkarasar.
