Sitting DMK MLA of Vedaranyam S.K.Vedarathinam filed his nomination as an independent candidate.
The constituency had been allotted to the DMK's alliance partner, the PMK.
Resentment
The allotment of Vedaranyam to the Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) had caused resentment among the DMK cadres as Mr. Vedarathinam has a formidable following.
The official DMK alliance candidate for the constituency from PMK M. Sathasivam also filed his nominations here.
