Campaign for Local Body polls ends

After the frenetic campaign over the last few days, during which leaders traded barbs and candidates raced against each other, the high-voltage fight to win the urban local body election in Tamil Nadu came to an end on Thursday evening. The civic bodies would go to polls on Saturday, results of which would be declared on February 22.

Drumbeats and slogans rent the air when candidates undertook the last-minute round in pockets of Chennai, while the political mood was more colourful in southern and western parts of the State.

Those belonging to smaller parties and independents, too, left no stone unturned to reach out to the voters on the final day of the campaign, promising corruption-free politics if voted to power.
