CHENNAI: The list of candidates released by the DMK on Friday for 173 seats pitted the party in a direct fight with arch-rival AIADMK in 131 constituencies for the TN assembly poll slated to be held on April 6.
While DMK president M K Stalin will seek a third term from Kolathur constituency, his son Udhayanidhi will make his electoral debut from the Chepauk-Triplicane constituency, represented by his late grandfather M Karunanidhi for three straight terms since 1996. The DMK is hoping to make a comeback after a 10-year stint in the opposition.
