Tamaka, who contested the last election in Erode East constituency, has announced that AIADMK will contest in the by-elections. Following this, the election field has heated up. OPS has announced that their team will contest in the by-elections. In an attempt to keep the BJP on their side, the OPS also said support would be provided if the party wanted to contest
This announcement by OBS has raised the question of which party owns the double leaf symbol. The party clearly states that the symbol will be assigned to the side with the majority, therefore, the party with the support of the MLAs, MPs, General Committee and Executive Committee members will get the most support. The alliance parties have also said that whoever gets the double leaf symbol will be supported
In this case, since the Election Commission did not recognize the position of Edappadi, who was illegally made the General Secretary, there is no chance for the Edappadi side to get the symbol. Therefore, the OBS side says that they are going to send a letter to the Election Commission asking them to provide the symbol as a coordinator. Stating that there is little chance of the double leaf symbol being disabled, political observers say that only if the two parties compete in a different symbol will the details of who has the support of the people be revealed.
Senior journalists say that if the symbol is disabled and independents contest the by-elections, it will backfire on the OPS side.
It is said that the verdict in the case against the AIADMK General Committee held on July 11 will be announced in the Supreme Court on the 24th. Only after the verdict will there be a clear answer to the confusion in the AIADMK.
