TVK Candidate Faces Opposition from Ally in By-Election Campaign
In the Madurantakam Assembly by-election, P. Shanmugham, a leader of the CPI(M), openly campaigned against the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) candidate. This occurred despite the CPI(M) being an ally supporting the TVK government. The CPI(M) is contesting the Madurantakam by-election against the TVK. Separately, a TVK candidate faced public ire during a campaign in Dharapuram.
