BJP candidate Uma Anandhan, who courted controversy for supporting Nathuram Godse who shot Mahatma Gandhi dead, has won from Ward 134 in West Mambalam on Tuesday, defeating the Congress candidate by a margin of 2,036 votes.
In an interview to a Tamil YouTube channel last year, she had said she was proud that Godse was a Hindu and that she had no regrets in supporting (him). In fact, she said that he killed the Mahatma (quite) late. Since morning, the Twitterati was curious about her performance in the polls and when she won, an clip in which she made remarks about Godse went viral.
