The polling will be taking place on February 19 and the last date of filing nomination has ended on Friday - February 4. 

Owing to the signs of tensions, a league of police officers was deployed to the area to respond to untoward incidents.

The dissents have been growing higher against the DMK leadership from the western districts over picking the candidates.

In line with his statement, Annamalai has announced a breaker with the ADMK and he is all set to sail the party independently against strong anti-BJP waves.

ADMK is not ready to give more seats to BJP as the former is aiming to win more local bodies to heal the debacle in the assembly polls. 

In last year's rural local body polls, Vijay Makkal Iyakkam has won over 115 seats and the victory has come when the actor has been surfaced with speculations over his political entry. 

The Tamil Nadu Election Commission has on Wednesday announced the schedule for the urban local body polls which will be electing Mayors for big cities. 

With the victory, Perumaathal has become the oldest Panchayat president in Tamil Nadu as she is getting ready to serve her community at the age of 90.

While the ruling DMK contested the polls with the alliance, ADMK's alliance was drifted much ahead of the polls with the strongest partner of the coalition, PMK, had decided to contest the polls independently.

As the results are being unfolded, the parties are bracing up the verdict from the voters and a BJP candidate who had contested in the Coimbatore by-poll had ended up securing only one vote.
