As many as 62 Candidates have been contesting the by-election of RK Nagar Constituency which fell vacant after the demise of former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa.
Initially, 127 Candidates had filed nomination for RK Nagar by-poll. EC approved 82 of the nominations after scrutiny. On the last day, About 20 Candidates had withdrawn their nomination. Finally, 62 candidates remained in fray. They include candidates of 7 Major Political Parties, Few Small Parties and Independents.
Jayalalithaa's Niece Deepa Jayakumar contesting RK Nagar by-polls on behalf of her political output 'MGR Amma Deepa Peravai'. Election Commission allotted 'BOAT' Symbol for her.
EC decided to use EVMs on the polling day to maintain transparency. Can Deepa emerge as successor of Amma or Will the 3 Camps in AIADMK benefit DMK?
