Erode East By-election: களமிறங்கும் திமுக; புறக்கணிக்கும் எதிர்க்கட்சிகள்! பின்னணி என்ன? | DMK

Following EVKS Elangovan demise, the Erode East constituency again became vacant and sparked a tussle between the political parties. Unlike other By-elections, the ruling DMK is in a cakewalk mood since there is no strong contender other than NTK. The Opposition Parties including the AIADMK, BJP and the new player TVK left the ground over to NTK, making the arena diluted. The By-elections of Tamil Nadu have seen ridiculous ones such as Thirumangalam, Pennagaram, RK Nagar, but the scenario of Erode East tells us a different story. Is the boycott of opposition parties a fair decision? Why does DMK want to contest in this election while it was previously held by their ally Congress? Does NTK hold in the birth land of Periyar after Seeman’s remarks? In this week’s Yen Endra Kelvi, Shabbir Ahmed delves into the history of few controversial by-elections of Tamil Nadu, unfolds the DMK’s strategy in its contention and the boycott of oppositions.
