Due to suspected pressure from some quarters, the Dalit chairperson of Kadayam panchayat union (PU) resigned from the post on Friday evening.
Of the 17 wards in Kadayam (PU), the DMK bagged 11 wards and a candidate of its ally, the Congress, got elected from one ward, while the AIADMK got five wards in the election held on October 9. Since the PU chairman post was reserved for a Scheduled Caste (General) candidate, the DMK decided to field 13th ward councillor Jayakumar, who had defected from the Puthiya Tamilagam a year ago, for the post.
