இடைத்தேர்தலில் இடதுசாரிகள் தனித்து போட்டி

According to Polimer News, left-wing political parties in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu have announced their decision to contest the upcoming by-elections for the Madurantakam and Dharapuram assembly constituencies independently. The by-elections are scheduled to take place on October 6, 2026.

Under this arrangement, the Communist Party of India (CPI) will field a candidate for the Dharapuram seat, while the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI-M) will contest the Madurantakam constituency. The report indicates that these parties are currently operating outside of any major political coalitions for these specific races.

This development marks a shift in the local electoral landscape for these two constituencies, which were previously contested under broader alliance frameworks during the April 2026 assembly elections. The decision to run independently suggests a strategic move by the left-wing parties to test their individual support bases in these regions as the state prepares for the October polls.
