|June 06, 2024
WHEN nominations for the 2024 Lok Sabha election were filed for Ramanathapuram constituency, there was a lot of noise about five other 'Pannerselvams' who were contesting against the former Tamil Nadu chief minister and expelled AIADMK leader O Panneerselvam (OPS), fighting as an independent backed by the BJP.

The results on Tuesday however showed that the 'dummy' candidates failed to make any significant dent in the electoral fortunes of the 'original'. Together, they polled only around 9,000 votes, while OPS got 3.42 lakh votes, finishing second behind the winner Indian Union Muslim League (IUML)'s Navaskani who polled 5.09 lakh votes.
