BJP elected unopposed in Kamudi Town Panchayat
The withdrawal of nominations sent shock waves to the DMK and the AIADMK in many southern districts.
The AIADMK coordinator O. Panneerselvam represented Bodinayakkanur Assembly Constituency in Theni district. The Kuchanoor Town Panchayat, which falls under the constituency, had fielded Nagajothi as its candidate for Ward 7. The DMK had nominated Pathanam, wife of Ravichandran. On the day of withdrawal, the AIADMK candidate Nagajothi withdrew her nomination thus making the DMK candidate emerge victorious unopposed.
