CHENNAI: Days after the DMK registered a landslide victory in the urban local body polls, AIADMK joint coordinator and former chief minister Edappadi K Palaniswami on Thursday accused the ruling party of winning through electoral malpractices and bogus votes. He said the AIADMK would move court against the alleged rigging of electronic voting machines to favour the DMK. Party coordinator O Panneerselvam said the AIADMK would record a resounding victory in the 2024 general elections.
After visiting former minister D Jayakumar in Puzhal prison, Palaniswami alleged that the DMK won the poll by casting bogus votes and paying Rs3,000 to Rs5,000 to each voter from the looted money in the last nine months.
