The Hindu
‘We have approached court, will hold election by September 15 as per SC direction’
Minister for Rural Development K. R. Periakaruppan has said that delimitation of local body wards was done erroneously by the previous AIADMK government with the objective of scripting DMK’s defeat in the civic polls. Speaking to reporters here on Thursday after inspecting a few development works and participating a review meeting with Assembly Speaker M. Appavu in chair, Mr. Periakaruppan said the delimitation of a good number of wards across the State was done by the previous AIADMK government with the motive of ensuring the DMK’s defeat. Still it lost more than 55% of the local body wards to the DMK, as a precursor to the Assembly polls.
