CHENNAI: R Monika is 25, S Monika is 23. The other common factor for the two opponents for the councillor’s post in ward 41 is that they are fielded (NTK) and Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM).
While the bigger parties have focused largely on veterans and old warhorses, smaller outfits like the MNM, NTK and the Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) have together fielded more than 50 candidates aged below 30.
