The Thoothukudi Lok Sabha constituency is set for a closely watched contest, with DMK leader Kanimozhi seeking re-election amidst environmental concerns over the copper smelter plant and issues like the fishermen's apprehension by Sri Lankan authorities. Contenders accuse the DMK of neglecting flood-affected families, raising discontent among voters. The presence of candidates like R Sivasamy Velumani, a bone and joint treatment center MD, and S D R Vijayaseelan adds to the electoral dynamics. Despite challenges, Kanimozhi's appeal for a vote against a "dictatorial" government resonates, highlighting the significance of the upcoming elections.
