1000 farmers to file for nominations for Tamil Nadu’s Kangeyam seat

The farmers have taken this step apparently because their demands to release water under the Parambikulam-Aliyar Project haven't been met for a long time.

TAD NewsDesk, Tamil Nadu:  Unhappy with the ministers of the state, one thousand farmers have filed nominations for the Kangeyam seat in the forthcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly elections.

The farmers have taken this step apparently because their demands to release water under the Parambikulam-Aliyar Project haven’t been met for a long time.

According to a report by PTI, farmers belonging to the Vellakoil Branch Canal Water Protection Committee sat on a five-day hunger strike to demand the supply of water from the project.

The hunger strike was called off after a meeting with Chief Minister E Palaniswami. It’s a shame that the demands have not been met after the promises too.

PTI reported quoting sources in the farmers’ collective,

“Since there was no solution found, the farmers decided to file 1,000 nominations from Kangeyam constituency and a committee member filed his nomination on Tuesday.”

As per PTI, the committee sources said over 10 nominations were received on Wednesday and more farmers would be filing their papers on Thursday and Friday to touch the 1,000-mark.

The farmers are replicating this situation from a similar stand that farmers in Modakurichi in Erode district took 25 years ago.

In 1996, 1,016 farmers filed their nominations from Modakurichi Assembly segment. With this, the total nominations filed in this seat rose to 1,033, causing a nightmare to the Election Commission.

The poll panel had to ultimately postpone the election by one month.

In total, of the 1,033 candidates, 1,030 lost their deposits; 158 candidates polled one vote each and 88 candidates did not poll a single vote with a 50-page book as the ballot paper.

A similar outcome or any other result might appear this time as well.
