A month after the Lok Sabha polls and bye-election to 22 vacant assembly seats, Tamil Nadu is gearing up for the local bodies polls which are overdue by three years. According to DMK MLA Maa Subramaniam, a former Mayor of Chennai, the DMK will once again make a clean sweep in the local body polls as it did in the Lok Sabha polls. “The local body polls should have been conducted in 2016 August itself. Since the DMK-led secular alliance has swept the LS poll, we are confident of a sweep in the local body polls too,” he said. “Though we are ready to face local body polls at any time, the AIADMK which seems hopeless may again cancel the election.
