The Hindu
This affluent and highly literate Assembly segment registered a poll percentage of just 57.76
Once again, the highly literate Palayamkottai Assembly constituency, housing large number of middle, upper middle and upper class families with members drawing bulky salary from the government and private sector undertakings, failed to cast their votes and brought down the district’s poll percentage. The Tirunelveli district recorded an overall poll percentage of 66.54 in the Assembly polls held on Tuesday. While the affluent Palayamkottai Assembly segment registered a poll percentage of just 57.76, the rural segment of Ambasamudram recorded a decent percentage of 72.05, the highest among all five Assembly constituencies of Tirunelveli district. Other Assembly constituencies – Tirunelveli (66.90%), Nanguneri (68.60%) and Radhapuram (67.94%) – recorded a relatively decent poll percentage though not an impressive one.
