Another son rises in Pennagaram from PMK’s fratricidal strife

If in the power struggle between PMK founder Dr. Ramadoss and his son Dr. Anbumani Ramadoss, the latter emerged on top wresting the party’s symbol Mango, in Pennagaram constituency, touted as the “PMK-citadel,” another son has appeared on the turf purportedly to avenge his father, both of whom were cited as the reason for the split in the PMK.

Congress has fielded G.K.M. Tamil Kumaran, the son of Pennagaram’s incumbent (ex-PMK ) MLA G.K. Mani, and the former PMK honorary president, now purged from the party along with the pack of the old guard, led by the PMK’s founder Dr. Ramadoss.
