Villupuram will witness a high-decibel contest between Law Minister C.Ve. Shanmugam and former AIADMK Rajya Sabha member R. Lakshmanan.
Mr. Lakshmanan, who recently joined the DMK, hopes to upset the Minister’s plan to win his third successive term from the constituency. For the AIADMK, it is a challenge to keep up the momentum from its impressive victory in the Vikravandi by-election in 2019.More Related News
