Caste factor plays an important role in Tirunelveli district
The infrastructure-starved Tirunelveli Assembly segment which faced the past 14 Assembly polls with a lot of promises from its MLAs in the past is gearing up to face yet another election.
Dusty narrow streets, roads further narrowed down by encroachments, no step taken for laying broader roads, improper drainage channels and free flow of drainage into channels carrying water for irrigation from the Tamirabharani continue to be eye sore of this town.
While religion plays a major role in the voting pattern in elections in the Kanniyakumari district, the caste factor decides the winners in the districts of Tirunelveli and Thoothukudi. The constituency has 33,000 voters of Thevar community, followed by Pillai (32,000) and Yadhava (18,000).
