With the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections drawing closer, reports suggest that Rayapuram Mano is gearing up to take on Chief Minister M.K. Stalin in the Kolathur constituency. Even before Stalin’s formal entry into the fray, Mano’s name has been a talking point among opposition parties.
In the 2021 Assembly elections, Stalin won the Kolathur seat on the DMK ticket. Since then, the DMK has been actively preparing to field him again from the same constituency. However, the AIADMK has adopted a new strategy, particularly in key constituencies like Kolathur, aiming to disrupt the DMK’s stronghold by fielding strong opposition candidates.
Political sources indicate that Mano’s name has been included in the AIADMK’s primary list of candidates for Kolathur, and efforts are underway to rally support for him. Though Mano is a former AIADMK member, he currently holds a significant position within the party.
