Kanimozhi to contest from Thoothukudi; Dayanidhi Maran to be fielded from Chennai Central constituency for the fourth time
The list of DMK’s candidates for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, released by party president M.K. Stalin on Sunday, comprises seven veterans and 13 new faces, many of whom are sons and daughters of prominent party leaders.
Mr. Stalin placed the candidates’ list before the mausoleum of former Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi at the Marina and in front of his portrait at his Gopalapuram residence before releasing the document. He also showed it to ailing party general secretary K. Anbazhagan at the latter’s residence.
Three doctors, five advocates, an engineer, 9 graduates and three women figure in the list.
As expected, DMK Rajya Sabha member and Karunanidhi’s daughter Kanimozhi will be contesting from the Thoothukudi constituency.

When asked whether the presence of ‘crorepatis’ in the list had denied opportunities for ordinary party members, Mr. Stalin dismissed it as “the view of the media”.
