Sidelined AIADMK leader Dhinakaran wins ex-CM Jaya's seat
Sidelined AIADMK leader VK Sasikala's nephew TTV Dhinakaran has won the RK Nagar bypolls by a margin of 40,707 votes. Dhinakaran was contesting against AIADMK leader E Madhusudhanan and DMK candidate Maruthu Ganesh to secure late Tamil Nadu CM Jayalalithaa's constituency. The vote counting was temporarily paused due to clashes between the supporters of AIADMK and Dhinakaran.
