The son of DMK chief MK Stalin was pulled up by the poll body for his remarks on late Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders. Udhayanidhi claimed that the two BJP leaders were "unable to tolerate the pressure and torture" given by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and died due to it.
“Udhayanidhi’s comments are ridiculous, defamatory and libelous in nature, slandering the office of the Prime Minister,” said BJP’s general secretary Karu Nagarajan in his letter to ECI.
"I tested positive for Covid-19. As a result, I was advised to isolate. Have been receiving medical care in a hospital," said DMK MP Kanimozhi, (ANI Photo)
