AIADMK general secretary J Jayalalithaa today released the list of party candidates for the Assembly elections of the 234 constituencies in Tamil Nadu and 30 seats in Pondicherry.
AIADMK is contesting in 227 seats while it has given seven seats to alliance parties - AISMK, RPI, Mukkulathor Puli Padai, Tamil Nadu Kongu Ilaignar Peravai, Tamil Maanila Muslim League (each one seat) and Manithaneya Jananayaka Katchi (two seats).
Though the AIADMK has fielded candidates only in 227 seats, the six allies will be contesting in seven seats only on the ruling party's 'Two Leaves' symbol. As such, the AIADMK is effectively contesting in all 234 constituencies. For the first time in its history, the party and all its allies are contesting on the 'Two Leaves' symbol.
During 2014 Lok Sabha elections, the AIADMK got higher votes than its rivals in 217 Assembly segments.
In Pondicherry, the AIADMK is contesting in all 30 seats. Thus, the AIADMK has shut its doors for the Tamil Maanila Congress led by GK Vasan.
