Overall, all we want is good stuff for Coimbatore. It does not matter whoever comes into power. All the Best and Good luck for every candidate in Coimbatore.

Vijayakanth changes DMDK candidate in Coimbatore

DMDK had Muthulakshmi as the candidate for Coimbatore. But, after the announcement of DMK as Mr.Azhagiri being given the seat in Coimbatore, DMDK evaluated the situation in Coimbatore.

DMDK President and Actor Vijayakanth decided to change the DMDK candidate for Coimbatore. Kaviarasu is the candidate from DMDK now. Muthulakshmi is moved to sivaganga most probably. Kaviarasu was a business man in Coimbatore leading the youth club of Vijayakanth fans.

There is not much popularity for Kaviarasu, however Vijayakanth is a popular personality among Coimbatore folks. We are not sure about the motive behind this change.

Coimbatore Election Update - Lok Sabha Elections in May 2009

Most probably Mr. M K Azhagiri would be contesting in Coimbatore constituency for the Lok Sabha elections. More about Mr. M K Azhagiri.

His daughter Kayalvizhi alias Vennila will contest in Kanyakumari, instead of Theni district.

Tamil Nadu CM Mr.Karunanidhi is mainly concerned about the fact that all concentration of Azhagiri's supporters would be focussed on Coimbatore and other southern districts would be neglected. Looks like that is the main reason, Mr.Azhagiri is not yet approved with a seat there. However, most likely this would happen...
