Tension prevailed in front of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam's district office in Krishnagiri on Saturday after DMK workers burst crackers to express support for Hazeena Syed, who filed her nomination for Krishnagiri Assembly segment.
Congress and DMK cadres entered into a wordy duel when former Congress MP C. Narasimhan came to the DMK office and asked his party workers to support rebel candidates who had filed their nominations as Independents. His supporters said they would work for the defeat of DMK nominee T. Senguttuvan contesting from Veppanahalli constituency. But, Mr. Narasimhan denied such a move by supporters.
Ms. Syed had to file her nominations, since the official candidate, Maqbool Jan, announced by the Congress high command, did not turn up. As a protest, eight Congressmen filed nominations as Independents. They include Agaram Krishnamoorthy, A. Thahi, A.S. Satyamoorthy, A. Ranganathan, B. Ashokan, Abdul Azeez Amanullah and Aranga Subramaniam.
