Palacode Assembly constituency: two-cornered contest on the cards in the AIADMK fortress

The Palacode constituency in Tamil Nadu faces challenges of limited irrigation infrastructure and a lack of industrial development, impacting agriculture and youth outmigration. Dr. S. Senthil Kumar, a former DMK MP, is challenging incumbent AIADMK MLA K.P. Anbalagan for the seat. Kumar's campaign focuses on highlighting issues like water management and infrastructure projects, while also seeking to attract votes from the Vanniyar community. The contest is expected to be tight between the DMK, AIADMK, and TVK, with Kumar's entry potentially impacting the vote share of PMK and AIADMK.
