Campaigns begin to hot up

Campaigning by candidates is hotting up though it is not easy in the 37degrees heat that is rollin in this summer.

Most evident in the campaigns is that of of the AIADMK and DMK parties, as seen in the neighbourhoods of Adyar, Mylapore and in Arcot Road. The AIADMK candidate, Dr Jayavardhan has been setting off from his San Thome base to reach the far flung areas one by one. Weekdays in the sun are also sweat-it-out days for the candidate. On Wednesday, April 2 we saw the AIADMK cadres congregate in Adyar to take out a campaign. The party has a local campaign office set up on Kaliamman Koil Road in Virugambakkam.

The DMK candidate, T K S Elangovan has moved put of his rounds of Saidapet where he has had former city Mayor M Subramaniam at hand to guide him through.

On the weekend, Elangovan who resides in Royapettah and is the DMK’s sitting MP of Chennai North did the rounds of K K Nagar and Saligramam and was seen meeting walkers and fitness enthusiasts in local parks like the Sivan Park in K K Nagar. 

Little is seen of the BJP campaigning in the eastern neighborhoods of this constituency. The same can be said of the Lok Satta party which also has a man in the fray.

AAP cadres say their candidate will set off once he files his nomination.
