Between AIADMK and DMK
The central region is all set to witness some keen tussle between the AIADMK and the DMK as the latter has fielded a mix of old war horses and new faces as its candidates for the Assembly constituencies here. The most keenly watched electoral battle would unfold in Karur constituency where the DMK has fielded former Minister V.Senthil Balaji, who switched over to the DMK after going with T.T.Dhinakaran’s AMMK following the demise of former Chief Minister Jayalalithaa. Mr.Balaji, who represents the Aravakurichi Assembly constituency, has moved to Karur to take on Transport Minister M.R.Vijayabhaskar of the AIADMK making it a contest of heavyweights in the region.
