SALEM: Leader of the opposition and joint coordinator of AIADMK Edappadi K Palaniswami on Thursday urged police and election officials to remain impartial during the urban local body elections. "Or else, they would have to face dire consequences," he warned. Palaniswami campaigned for his party candidates at Vazhapadi, Ayothiyapattinam and Yercaud town panchayats.
He said the AIADMK had approached the Madras high court and got a judgement to prevent any irregularities during the conduct of the local body elections. "If any official indulges in malpractices during the poll time, it would be considered as contempt of court and there won't be any guarantee for their jobs," he warned.
