CHENNAI: The announcement of the urban local body election by the state election commission has set the ball rolling in the political arena in Tamil Nadu. If not all political parties, at least the ruling DMK and the PMK, which recently distanced itself from the alliance led by the opposition party AIADMK, have started gearing up for the election.
Chief minister and DMK president M K Stalin while speaking at the wedding ceremony of the daughter of DMK Rajya Sabha MP T K S Elangovan in Chennai on Thursday said people must talk less and focus on actions. "That's what I am doing now," he said. Stalin said the state has reserved 50% of the seats in local bodies for women. He said women who enjoy equal rights and opportunities in the local body polls must get equal importance in personal affairs too.
