more-inBJP State president Tamilisai Soundararajan said on Saturday that Karu Nagarajan, a State unit Secretary, will be the party’s candidate in the R.K. Nagar byelection. Although he is a resident of Chennai, Mr. Nagarajan does not live within the R.K. Nagar constituency. This is because in the 2009 general elections, AISMK contested in an alliance with the BJP; Mr. Nagarajan contested from Tirunelveli. Mr. Nagarajan said that he would file his nomination on Monday. My campaign will take the Central government schemes to the people of R.K. Nagar,” said Mr. Nagarajan.
