Barely after a month of Lok Sabha elections, major political parties to lock horns yet again
Parties set for July retest in 7 states

BYPOLLS to fill vacancies in 13 assembly constituencies across seven states will be held on July 10, with vote counting on July 13. The last date to file nominations is June 21, and candidates can withdraw their candidacy until June 26.

In Tamil Nadu's Vikravandi, the NDA candidate will face the DMK nominee. The AIADMK is boycotting the elections, claiming the DMK will incite violence and hinder independent voting. C. Anbumani of the Pattali Makkal Katchi, an NDA constituent, will contest the Vikravandi by-poll.

Ramadoss, founder of the Pattali Makkal Katchi, a constituent of the BJP-led NDA in Tamil Nadu, has confirmed that his party's vice-president, C. Anbumani, will contest the Vikravandi by-poll. The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) has announced Anniyur Siva as its candidate for the Vikravandi by-election.
