R. Sundari elected first mayor of Cuddalore

The Hindu  

Amid high drama, R. Sundari of the ruling DMK was elected the first mayor of the newly formed Cuddalore Corporation in the indirect elections held on Friday. The AIADMK’s six councillors abstained from voting, while seven out of 11 others who were whisked away to a beach resort near Puducherry by the rebel camp failed to turn up for voting. Sources in the DMK said there was a stiff competition between Ms. Sundari and the DMK’s district treasurer Gunasekaran’s wife Geetha for the post. As the high command announced the candidature of Ms. Sundari, 11 councillor-elects belonging to the rival camp were whisked away to a private resort near Puducherry and remained out of reach.
