Posted on 17th Jan 2015 12:29 pm by mohit kumar

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.
