Tension prevailed in the Kunnam bus stand area of Perambalur district in Tamil Nadu after cadres of the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) and the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) clashed with each other by alledgely pelting stones.
Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) had received support from the VCK to help the government prove its majority after the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections earlier. Following this, VCK MLA Vanniyarasu was appointed as the Minister for Adi Dravidar Welfare. This triggered opposition from sections of the DMK.
