Ashok While the DMK candidate and Minister Palanivel Thiaga Rajan is seeking a re-election for the third time in a row from the prestigious Madurai Central constituency, his political opponent actor-director Sundar C, from the Kollywood, contesting on the ‘Two-Leaves’ symbol, is shaking the ground with his attack on five-years of corruption of the ruling party in the temple city. The election campaigns conducted by the two candidates in the constituency have become a “talk-of-the-town” as campaigning intensifies. In the last week though, the propaganda by the DMK and the AIADMK touched a new low with both parties and their speakers taking a no holds barred attack. Even as Mr. Rajan, who is known for his presentations largely backed with data and evidence on any subject he deals with, the opponents took a shot at him for doing nothing tangible in the last decade, especially, around the world famous Meenakshi Sundareswarar Temple.
