Senthilbalaji to contest from Coimbatore South

V. Senthilbalaji will face the battle of ballots from the minority dominant Coimbatore South, as the DMK is confident of securing a major vote share..

This settles at rest the speculation that Mr. Balaji will enter the fray from Karur district. Coimbatore South has a dominant minority community vote bank and with the AIADMK having entered into an electoral pact with the BJP, Mr. Balaji’s vote share stands consolidated in the segment.
