Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) candidates have been maintaining their lead in both the Maduranthagam and Dharapuram by-elections, with TVK candidate Sathyabama securing victory in Dharapuram.
AIADMK MP Inbadurai alleged that the ruling party abused power, cited a rekla ride with a wanted criminal, illegal animal use in campaigns, money distribution using tiffin boxes, and claimed that EVMs malfunctioned and lacked seals at the Maduranthagam vote-counting center.
The AIADMK slipped to the third position in both constituencies this time, despite having won them in the previous assembly election.
