Aravakurichi  

A 60-year-old man exercised his franchise one last time before breathing his last on May 19. The man walked out of the booth and immediately collapsed. The voter turnout for the by-polls in the four constituencies, in Tamil Nadu, stands at 46% as of May 19, 1PM.

 DMK candidate for Aravakurichi Assembly by-poll V Senthil Balaji claimed that the AIADMK was brazenly flouting rules and the police have done nothing to stop them

 

Two complaints against Kamal Haasan have been filed in relation to his remark on Hindu terror. While one complaint has been filed by Ramakrishnan, district president of Hindu Munnani of Tamil Nagar at Aravakurichi police station, the other has been filed by Vishnu Gupta at Delhi's Patiala House Court 
 

Ottapidaram, Aravakurichi and Tiruparankundram Assembly constituencies remain vacant and the DMK alleged that the Election Commission purportedly held back the constituencies from going to polls, in a bid to favour the AIADMK. Three constituencies are not to go to by-elections in the upcoming 2019 Lok Sabha polls, for which dates were announced on Sunday
