Voters in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry are all set to exercise their franchise, adhering to COVID-19 safety protocol, on Tuesday to elect new governments. By-poll for Kanniyakumari Lok Sabha seat will also take place on Tuesday. In Tamil Nadu, which faces a five-cornered battle, the AIADMK-led alliance with Edappadi K. Palaniswami as its Chief Ministerial face is seeking a renewed mandate. DMK president MK Stalin, heading a rainbow alliance, is making a strong pitch to form a government with him as Chief Minister for the first time. The front led by the fledgling Makkal Needhi Maiam founded by Kamal Haasan, Naam Tamilar Katchi anchored by Seeman and TTV Dhinakaran's Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam-led alliance are seeking to prove themselves as credible alternatives to the two Dravidian forces.More Related News
