AIADMK, DMK ask the Election Commission to hold the Assembly elections on the same day The AIADMK and the DMK have asked the Election Commission (EC) to hold the Assembly elections on the same day in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry.
The party leaders raised the demand while presenting their memorandums separately to an EC delegation led by Umesh Sinha, Secretary General. The delegation is in the Union Territory to review measures ahead of the elections scheduled next year.
The two parties contended that simultaneous elections in both places were warranted as several regions in Puducherry and Karaikal in the Union Territory were geographically contiguous with Tamil Nadu. The delegation agreed to examine the demand and take a decision accordingly.
