Dharapuram, a reserved segment in Tamil Nadu, for the first time will have a Prime Minister visiting them. The region with a significant population of Arunathiyars, Pallars, Kuravars and other scheduled communities will have the BJP’s state president L Murugan contesting for the BJP-AIADMK alliance.
Though Murugan has contested thrice before in Tamil Nadu elections, this is the first time he will be contesting after taking over as the president of Tamil Nadu BJP.
“This is like my tenth exam. I don’t have any fear. I have a good team, all the candidates from my party are very good and hardworking. We have got significant support from our national team, and also from our state allies AIADMK and PMK. We are confident of winning,” said Murugan in a conversation with India Today TV as we rode a van through the rugged roads of Mulanur, Dharapuram South Zone.
