Conditions apply
The DMK allotted the Tiruvallur (SC) seat to the Congress with a “conditions apply” asterisk mark, which said the sitting MP, K Jayakumar, should be replaced. The explanation for this categorical pre-condition was that Jayakumar “is hugely unpopular” in the constituency.

The Congress has now decided to field former Karnataka cadre IAS officer, Sasikanth Senthil, who heads the party’s election war room.
