DMK retains Madurai central seat
DMK's Ghouse Basha won the October 11 bypolls to the Madurai central constituency by an impressive margin of 30,354 votes over his nearest rival Rajan Chellappa of AIADMK.
While Ghouse Basha polled 51,240 votes, Rajan Chellappa got 20,886 votes and M R Pannerselvam of DMDK 17,312 votes.
The bypoll was necessitated following the death of DMK minister P G R Palanivelrajan, who represented the seat.
The DMK margin has increased as compared to the May 8 polls to the state assembly in which Palanivelrajan won by a margin of over 9,000 votes.
All three key players in the state politics, DMK, AIADMK and DMDK had taken the bypolls seriously, with their leaders M Karunanidhi, Jayalalithaa and Vijayakanth campaigning extensively in the constituency.
