Minister Nirmalkumar has claimed that both the DMK and AIADMK will lose their election deposits in the upcoming by-election. He specifically criticized the DMK for nominating Paranthaman, a candidate from Egmore, to contest in the Madurantakam constituency.
Nirmalkumar alleged that the party was forced to field an outsider because no local candidate was willing to run. He questioned what connection Paranthaman has to the Madurantakam region, suggesting the nomination reflects a lack of local support.
