Nominees of political parties thanking district and State level leaders is nothing new. But DMK nominee for the Coimbatore North Assembly constituency Meena Logu has gone a step ahead by thanking her political rivals. Yes, she has thanked the AIADMK councillors of the Coimbatore Corporation for helping her climb the political ladder. In the past year at several Corporation Council meetings, Ms. Logu, as Councillor representing Ward 49 was in the news as she single-handedly took on the ruling AIADMK councillors. She was also at the receiving end of the AIADMK councillors’ verbal and physical assaults in the Council and was even banned for a few Council meetings. This got her as much publicity as she had wanted and now, a nomination from the party.
