Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and AIADMK general secretary Jayalalithaa declared on Thursday that her party would move the court against the Election Commission’s norm that adds the cost of party leaders’ campaign to the expenditure of candidates.

She had come to Namakkal to campaign for the AIADMK’s P. R. Sundaram but noted that the new expenditure norm prevented the candidate from attending it.
