Deputy Chief Minister and DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin has been denied permission to campaign in parts of Cuddalore district due to scheduling conflicts under election regulations.
With the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly elections scheduled for April 23 and campaigning permitted only till April 21 evening, political parties have intensified their outreach across the State.
According to officials, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam leader Vijay had already obtained permission to campaign in areas including Thittakudi and Neyveli. As per election norms, priority is given on a first-come, first-served basis for campaign permissions.
Udhayanidhi Stalin had sought permission to campaign in Vadalur on the same day. However, due to prior approval granted for Vijay’s campaign, permission for Udhayanidhi Stalin was not granted.
Officials said the Deputy Chief Minister’s campaign programme has been rescheduled for a later date.
Meanwhile, leaders across parties, including Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami, Naam Tamilar Katchi coordinator Seeman, and Vijay, continue extensive campaigning across Tamil Nadu.
