In his first media interview in the run up to the Assembly election, DMK president M.K. Stalin had told The Hindu that west Tamil Nadu will no longer be the fortress of the AIADMK. However, on Sunday as results of the Assembly elections trickled in, the voters proved him wrong. As per late-night trends, the AIADMK had won or established leads in 31 of the 57 seats across eight districts in its bastion. The DMK was ahead in more than 10 seats and had won Bargur and Coonoor.
Coimbatore: The rural police have formed a special team to arrest the son of deputy speaker V Jayaraman, who is the AIADMK candidate from Pollachi segment, and a few others in connection with a clash with DMK cadres at Okkilipalayam.
While the Vadakkipalayam police have already picked up two AIADMK cadres, the ruling party has been putting pressure on police to release them. Police officials said they would arrest the accused, if the case was genuine.
On March 29, 28-year-old N Parthasarathy, a resident of Okkilipalayam near Pollachi, had lodged a complaint with the Vadakkipalayam police stating Jayaraman’s son Praveen and a few others had assaulted and threatened him for arranging an election campaign meeting for DMK candidate Dr Varadharajan at his village on March 28.
