As of noon on Tuesday, the DMK alliance looked like it was sweeping the western regions of the State, a huge victory after its major losses in the Assembly elections last year
Barely nine months after its humiliating defeat at the hands of the AIADMK in many Assembly constituencies in western Tamil Nadu, the ruling DMK alliance was headed for a sweep in the urban civic polls in the region, as per available trends on Tuesday at noon.
In contrast to losing in all 10 Assembly seats in Coimbatore district last year, the DMK was leading in the civic polls held for the Coimbatore Corporation, seven municipalities and 33 town panchayats as of noon. The DMK and its allies won 11 of the 12 wards in Coimbatore Corporation and the AIADMK won only one ward.
