The Bharatiya Janata Party on Monday entered the campaign trail for AIADMK candidate Om Sakthi Sekar.
Led by BJP’s local unit president R.V. Saminathan, party cadre performed a ‘puja’ at the Ellaimariamman Koil and began a door-to-door campaign in support of Mr. Sekar. The party will highlight the “failures of the Congress government” in the Union Territory, a BJP leader said.
The BJP had, on November 1 announced its decision to work in tandem with the All India N.R. Congress. However, after the announcement, the party was not seen in the electioneering. The BJP had put up a candidate in Nellithope in the Assembly polls but lost deposit.
