Vijay contesting in two seats may be out of fear: Nehru

Trichy: TVK chief Vijay has chosen to contest from both Perambur and Trichy East probably because of fear, DMK principal secretary K N Nehru said on Monday, replying to questions by reporters."It might be. In the 1977 elections, even though DMK lost in all other constituencies in Trichy, it emerged victorious in Trichy East. Therefore, we will carry out our election campaign with the absolute confidence that this constituency remains in the DMK fold," he said. The Constitution provides scope for anyone to contest elections from anywhere, and in that spirit, Vijay is also contesting in Trichy East constituency, he said. "In the election manifesto, the chief minister has outlined a diverse range of initiatives, including schemes specifically designed for women, the general public, and farmers. The manifesto is the hero of our campaign," he added.
