Puducherry Assembly polls | Three-cornered stiff contest in Panruti
The Hindu
The DMK-led front is pulling out all the stops to recapture the constituency, especially after its 2016 defeat
The Panruti Assembly constituency, a known stronghold of the Dravidian parties, where both seem to be on an equal footing with the electorate, is all set for a stiff three-cornered battle, with resentment over the selection of a candidate by the AIADMK kicking up a lot of dust. In 2016, Satya Panneerselvam of the AIADMK won the seat by defeating her nearest rival, Ponkumar of the DMK, by a margin of 3,128 votes. T. Velmurugan, president of the Tamizhaga Vazhvurimai Katchi (TVK), who won the seat on a Paattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) ticket in the 2001 and 2006 election, is now contesting on the DMK symbol.
