Puthiya Tamilagam’s Krishnasamy to contest on AIADMK’s ‘two leaves’ symbol

Puthiya Tamilagam founder president K. Krishnasamy said he would be contesting in this election on the AIADMK’s ‘two leaves’ symbol.

After filing his nomination on Wednesday, Dr. Krishnasamy said the sitting MP (DMK’s Dhanush Kumar) had done nothing to the constituency which had been blessed with all resources. Even though the PT had applied for a separate symbol two months ago, the Election Commission had delayed the allotment. Hence, the decision to contest the election on the ‘two leaves’ symbol, he explained.

 “We were not compelled to contest on the ‘two leaves’ symbol,” Dr. Krishnasamy claimed.

 Former Minister K.T. Rajenthra Bhalaji said Dr. Krishnasamy would win the election comfortably.

 “The battle is between only the DMK and the AIADMK and no one else is in the battle field,” he said.
