“I am very hopeful of getting considerably more votes this time,” Ms. Radha who is contesting on the “telephone” symbol, says
Fifty-three-year-old M. Radha, a transwoman contesting in the Assembly election from Mylapore constituency as an independent, has no delusions about securing a huge share of votes, let alone winning. Her modest expectation is to surpass the number of votes she got in the Parliamentary election in 2019, the first time she contested an election. As a candidate from the Chennai South constituency, under which Mylapore Assembly segment falls, she secured 1,042 votes and stood 14th among the 40 contestants. “I am very hopeful of getting considerably more votes this time,” Ms. Radha who is contesting on the “telephone” symbol, says.More Related News
