BJP Faces Setbacks in Tamil Nadu Against DMK and TVK Candidates

Several prominent BJP candidates, including state chief Nainar Nagenthran and Union Minister L Murugan, face significant leads from DMK and TVK opponents in Tamil Nadu elections. While some BJP contenders trail in key constituencies, others like M R Gandhi are making advances, as the party contends for 27 seats with AIADMK's support.

BJP's election hopes in Tamil Nadu face hurdles as key candidates, such as state chief Nainar Nagenthran and Union Minister L Murugan, trail behind rivals from DMK and TVK.

Nagenthran, representing Sattur for the first time, faces a 909-vote deficit against DMK's Kadarkarairaj A, while L Murugan trails TVK's Kamali S by 2,080 votes in Avanashi.

Despite some BJP candidates leading in constituencies like Nagercoil, the party's overall performance highlights challenges, as they contest 27 seats in alliance with AIADMK.
