Dinakaran In Chennai

Actor Kamal Haasan, in a hard hitting column in a Tamil magazine, alleged that money power was behind TTV Dhinakaran's win in the RK Nagar bypoll. The actor criticised people for electing Dhinakaran saying, "They chose an independent highest bidder". The sidelined AIADMK leader hit out accusing Kamal Haasan of maligning voters.

The by-election for Chennai's RK Nagar assembly seat, which fell vacant after the death of former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa last December, is being held today.

Actor Vishal, disqualified from contesting the RK Nagar by-election in Tamil Nadu, tweeted President Ram Nath Kovind and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday, saying he hopes "justice prevails." He said he was bringing to their notice the fact that his nomination for the December 21 by-election was "first accepted and later rejected."

TTV Dinakaran, the party's sidelined number 2 slammed the Tamil Nadu government over raids at former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa's Poes Garden residence in Chennai on Friday evening calling the move as "betrayal" and "political vendetta".
