Section wants. Former district president EP Ravi, who was pointed out by the Congress party as the candidate in the last assembly elections, and South district Congress president Makkal G. Rajan are also in this list. But the decision rests with senior leader EVKS Elangovan. There are reports that even the current leaders of the party are urging EVKS Elangovan to contest the elections.
