Campaign comes to a close

Campaigning ended this evening at 6 pm. As it did in the rest of the state.

On Monday, leaders of the AIADMK and DMK ran a whirlwind tour of the three constituencies of the city ending with large public meetings. 

On Tuesday afternoon, DMK leader hit a furious campaign pace, making stops in kuppams and interior colonies before heading for a public meeting.

Meanwhile, work has begun at the polling booths to set up the furniture and the spaces in place for polling on April 24. In some venues where polling is to take place, info boards have been erected listing streets and roads where residents of the area need to queue to vote.

One of the leading English newspapers, carried a paid feature advertorial featuring the AIADMK candidate of Chennai South. Inserted in other dailies were handbills of other candidates/parties listing promises and making appeals.
