Chennai, Jan 16 (IANS) Tamil Nadu's ruling AIADMK Friday named S.Valarmathi as its candidate for the Srirangam assembly constituency, held earlier by former chief minister J.Jayalalithaa, for the Feb 13 by-poll.
In a statement issued here, AIADMK said Valarmathi sought Jayalalithaa's blessings after being nominated as the candidate for the by-poll.
Valarmathi will be crossing swords with DMK's N.Anand who had lost to Jayalalithaa by around 40,000 votes in the 2011 assembly election.
The by-poll was necessitated following the disqualification of Jayalalithaa, who was convicted in a corruption case last year.
Meanwhile DMK president M.Karunanidhi in a statement issued Friday appealed to all the parties in the state to support Anand in the by-poll.
