A high-profile contest on the cards in Coimbatore South
The Hindu
Coimbatore South has become a star constituency this time, thanks to the high-profile contestants who have drawn much attention.
In the 2021 election, the 2.51 lakh-odd voters from the 19 Coimbatore Corporation wards that make up the constituency would have to choose among BJP women’s wing president Vanathi Srinivasan, TNCC working president Mayura S. Jayakumar and Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) founder Kamal Haasan. The other candidates are A. Abdul Wahab of Naam Tamilar Katchi and R. Doraisamy of the Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam. Since the Election Commission of India created the constituency, after the 2007 delimitation exercise, by including areas from the then Coimbatore East and West constituencies, the voters have twice chosen the AIADMK.
On December 23, the newly elected office bearers of the Anna Nagar Towers Club, led by its president ‘Purasai’ B. Ranganathan, who is a former MLA, met with Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. K. Stalin and conveyed their greetings. According to a press release, besides, ‘Purasai’ B. Ranganathan, the Anna Nagar Towers Club delegation that met Stalin at Anna Arivalayam, the DMK Party headquarters, included vice-president R. Sivakumar, secretary R. Muralibabu, joint secretary D. Manojkumar, treasurer K. Jayachandran and executive committee members N. D. Avinash, K. Kumar, N. R. Madhurakavi, K. Mohan, U. Niranjan, S. Parthasarathi, K. Rajasekar, S. Rajasekar, M. S. Ramesh, R.
