Residents of Ward 21 of Coimbatore Corporation protested on Friday against councillor E. Senthil when he went there to campaign for votes for his party (AIADMK) candidate P.R.G. Arunkumar. According to sources, the residents of P.M. Samy Colony had banners asking Mr. Senthil to not canvass votes as he had done very little for their betterment in the past four-and-half years.
A few women of the area also opposed his entry into the area. In a banner in another locality, they also asked him to not campaign in the area.
