Nellithope: a marker of hard bargaining within NDA allies
The Hindu
In a bizarre development, allies within the NDA stand as adversaries at the moment in the Nellithope Assembly segment with the candidates of the BJP and the AIADMK filing nominations for the seat on Monday.
This comes against the backdrop of the NDA agreement allotting 16 seats to AINRC and the BJP staking claim for a larger slice of the 14-seat pie it has to share with the AIADMK. Om Sakthi Sekar of the AIADMK and his son Tamil Sengolan filed their nominations for Nellithope while sons of A. John Kumar, now with the BJP — J. Villiams Regan and J. Vivilian Richards — also submitted their nominations for the seat.More Related News
