Rk Nagar

The ruling AIADMK in Tamil Nadu has sought applications from aspiring candidates who would like to contest in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. The party will accept the applications from February 4 to 10.

The Madras High Court on Monday issued notice to the CBI on a plea seeking probe by an independent agency into the allegations of bribing voters of R K Nagar constituency by AIADMK during the 2017 bypoll.

Instances compiled by an association of Tamil Nadu journalists suggest multiple cases of 'blackouts' simply for reporting news critical of the government. Among the cases cited are: in February this year, Satyam TV was blacked out for a day on Arasu Cable for reporting on the protests in Tuticorin against a plant by mining giant Vedanta.

In a relief to rebel AIADMK leader TTV Dhinakaran, the Madras High Court today upheld his election from the RK Nagar assembly constituency.

A Chennai-based lawyer has been arrested for allegedly molesting a nine-year-old girl on a train on Saturday. The child was travelling with her family from Kerala's Thiruvanthapuram to Chennai and was fast asleep on her middle berth on the Trivandrum Express when she was molested allegedly by the lawyer.

TTV Dhinakaran, sidelined by the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam or AIADMK, announced the name of his party. He has named it after former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa. Mr Dinakaran made the announcements at an event in Melur town.

TTV Dhinakaran, the nephew of VK Sasikala who recently won the by-election to Chennai's RK Nagar - the seat represented by Tamil Nadu's iconic leader J Jayalalithaa - will launch his party on March 15. The programme, where the name and the flag of the party will be unveiled, will take place in Madurai, the political capital of Tamil Nadu, which saw...

The internal churning in the ruling AIADMK post its defeat in the RK Nagar bypoll continued Wednesday, with top leaders O Panneerselvam and K Palaniswami cracking the whip against dissidents in four districts.

Continuing with the crackdown on dissidents in the wake of its RK Nagar by-election defeat, the ruling AIADMK in Tamil Nadu today removed its Coimbatore Lok Sabha MP from a key party post, while expelling more than 150 office bearers there and in Kancheepuram district.

In an acknowledgement that some candidates in RK Nagar by-elections may have outsmarted the election body, Chief Election Commissioner OP Rawat told NDTV that the commission needed to take "a very comprehensive look at the whole system of preventing abuse of money" after the by-election in Chennai.

Tamil actor Vishal, who was in news recently when his nomination for the bypoll to RK Nagar Assembly constituency was rejected, said "the situation" made him decide on entering politics.

The Madras High Court today dismissed a petition that the Election Commission of India (ECI) be directed to suspend the result of the RK Nagar bypoll that concluded last month, and held that the courts could not do so once it was declared.

Hundreds of people came out on the streets of RK Nagar in Chennai as their newly elected legislator TTV Dhinakaran went on a victory march on former Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa's home turf. In the recent by-election, he defeated the ruling AIADMK by 40,000 votes. Music, drum beats and dance were present along his route as he returned to the const...

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.
