Though the ruling AIADMK got a clear majority in the just-concluded
Assembly elections, an analysis of constituency-wise data has revealed
that two AIADMK candidates had forfeited their deposits, polling less
than one-sixth of the total votes cast
Vilavancode constituency
In
Vilavancode constituency in Kanniyakumari district, where the AIADMK was
routed in all seats, party candidate Nanjil Domenic Savio George came
fourth behind the Congress, BJP, CPI (M), polling 24,801 votes.
Consequently, he lost his deposit.
The seat was retained by S. Vijayadharani, who was elected in 2011, thanks to the alliance with the DMK.
Thalli constituency
Similarly,
in Thalli constituency in Krishnagiri district, AIADMK candidate C.
Nagesh came third polling 31,415 votes, thereby forfeiting his deposit.
While the DMK’s Y. Prakaash won the seat, CPI candidate T. Ramachandran,
who represented the constituency during 2011-16, was the runner-up
