declare as defeated the AIADMK nominees if they win on February 22 when votes would be taken up for counting Palaniswami alleged This must be scuttled by complying with a ruling of the Madras High Court in this regard and postal votes should be counted first and then the EVMs and results should be declared promptly as per rules the AIADMK Joint Coordinator said In a joint statement AIADMK Coordinator O Panneerselvam and Palaniswami alleged that their party colleagues arrest was a precursor to the murder of democracy to be staged by the ruling party on Tuesday during the counting of

said people have not forgotten the subsequent re-polling They said Jayakumar only caught red-handed the man who had come to cast a false vote and rather protected him from getting beaten up and
