DMK chief Stalin moves High Court challenging TVK candidate V.S. Babu’s victory in Kolathur
He also sought a direction to the authorities to conduct 100% counting of VVPAT slips relating to Kolathur Assembly constituency and the checking and verification of all 286 machines deployed in Kolathur constituency.
DMK chief M.K. Stalin has initiated a legal challenge in the Madras High Court against the victory of TVK MLA V.S. Babu in the Kolathur Assembly constituency. The petition seeks a complete recount of VVPAT slips and declares Stalin as the returned candidate. Despite the constitutional provision that no election can be questioned except through an election petition, Stalin argues his case is valid as he is disputing the post-result administrative and technical process of EVM/VVPAT checking and verification.
