Lok Sabha polls | Battle lines drawn for a three-cornered fight in the Vanniyar belt in Dharmapuri

The Hindu  

The battle-lines have been drawn long and hard for Dharmapuri Lok Sabha constituency, where a three-cornered fight between the DMK, AIADMK, and PMK is brewing. In 2019, the DMK won by over 70,000 votes, while AMMK’s P. Palaniappan polled 53,655 votes, and the Makkal Needhi Maiam polled 15,614. His presence in the DMK is expected to split the community’s votes, which were earlier milked by the AIADMK by drawing on their shared caste allegiance with its leader Edappadi K. Palaniswami. DMK’s candidate A. Mani, a lawyer, and the party’s district joint secretary, had unsuccessfully contested the simultaneous bypoll in 2019 for Paapireddipatti Assembly constituency and polled 84,000 votes.
