Rural local body polls: AIADMK accuses DMK of having achieved victory through the backdoor
The Hindu
The party alleged that the DMK had unleashed “unprecedented violence and atrocities” and also said that their petitions to the SEC were not acted upon
AIADMK coordinator, O. Panneerselvam and co-coordinator, Edappadi K Palaniswami, on Wednesday accused the ruling DMK of having carried out “unprecedented violence and atrocities” during the rural local body elections and said the party had “reduced the State Election Commission (SEC) into its puppet” to register success in the polls.
In a statement, the two leaders gave an account of how their party had protested from the beginning against the way the elections were held. When their party was in power, polls to the Assembly, Lok Sabha and rural local bodies were all held in one phase but, in respect of nine districts, polling was sought to be held in two phases, against which the party had moved the Madras High Court.
