With Tamil Nadu poised for a five-cornered Assembly election, AIADMK co-coordinator and Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami, DMK president and Leader of the Opposition M.K. Stalin, other prominent leaders and several Ministers filed their nomination papers before the Returning Officers of their respective constituencies on Monday.
Mr. Palaniswami, the Chief Ministerial candidate of the ruling party, filed his nomination in the Edappadi constituency in Salem, from where he made his electoral debut in 1989. He has since represented the constituency thrice — 1991, 2011 and 2016. Mr. Stalin, who also entered the Assembly for the first time in 1989 from the Thousand Lights constituency, submitted his nomination papers before the Returning Officer of the Kolathur constituency, from where he was elected in 2011 and 2016. After filing his nomination, he headed to Tiruvarur, which elected his father and former Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi, and commenced electioneering. He had begun his most recent Parliamentary election campaign, too, from there.More Related News
