TN Assembly polls | AIADMK receives flak over ticket distribution

The AIADMK’s selection of candidates for the Assembly poll and the distribution of certain constituencies to allies received adverse reaction publicly on Thursday from sections of members of the party. In a chat with The Hindu, former Minister Thoppu N.D. Venkatachalam, who was not fielded again in Perundurai, claimed that he did not have “disappointment” over the party’s decision not to re-nominate him. But, the candidate chosen in his place had “worked against” the party in the past, Mr Venkatachalam alleged.
