The contest at Salem North constituency will be a litmus test for the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam as it is the only seat where DMK was able to fly its victory flag in 2016 Assembly elections.
R. Rajendran, the incumbent has been fielded again by DMK here and the AIADMK is throwing up a strong fight by fielding incumbent Salem West Legislator G. Venkatachalam. On Tuesday, DMK leader M.K. Stalin made a surprise visit to the constituency and walked through the streets of Shevapet market seeking votes to ensure that DMK retains the seat. In 2016, Mr. Rajendran won with a margin of 9,873 votes here.
