The tension that had prevailed here in the DMK circle over the election of district panchayat council chairman even though the party had bagged 11 of the 12 wards came to an end on Friday as the party, in the eleventh hour, named its candidates for the posts of chairman and vice-chairman.
Since the DMK high command, following unpleasant developments like horse-trading by two district panchayat chairman aspirants, named party’s Radhapuram union secretary V. S. R. Jegadeesh, who got elected from ward 12, as chairman and Selvalakshmi of ward 1 as his deputy, the tension, fanned by different caste groups, got doused on Friday. They were elected unopposed and assumed office in the presence of Collector V. Vishnu.
