The Nilgiris Lok Sabha constituency is witnessing one of the keenly watched battles between A. Raja, the incumbent DMK MP and former Telecom Minister, and L. Murugan of the BJP, who is the Union Minister of State for Fisheries. This will be the first time that Mr. Murugan, who was elected to the Rajya Sabha from Madhya Pradesh, is contesting from here.
When you throw in the wildcard, Lokesh Tamilselvan of the AIADMK, there is a good chance that the election will go down to the wire. Also in the fray is A. Jayakumar of the NTK.
