With nearly a week to go for the results of the Lok Sabha elections, some sections of people in Theni constituency seem to have the slightest doubt on who the winner will be. This is evident in a plaque put up at the Kasi Sri Annapoorani temple which describes the AIADMK candidate — deputy chief minister O Panneerselvam’s son — as “P Ravindranath Kumar, Theni MP,” much to the chagrin of his rival camp.
The temple is situated close to the famous Kuchanoor Saneeswaran temple in Theni district. It is visited by thousands of people every day for “Sani dosha’’ protection. The kumbabhishekam for the rajagopuram of the temple was held on Thursday and the names of the donors who had contributed to the construction works were prominently inscribed on granite stones.
Late chief minister J Jayalalithaa’s name is displayed as a major donor of the temple, followed by the name of deputy chief minister O Panneerselvam. His younger son Jayapradeep Kumar’s name has also been inscribed on the plaque. However, what took many of the devotees who came to the temple by surprise on Friday was the temple administration designating Panneerselvam’s elder son Ravindranath Kumar as member of parliament from Theni.
AMMK spokesperson Thanga Tamilselvan told reporters in Madurai on Friday that the temple administration should remove the plague dated May 16, 2019 immediately as the election results were awaited. He said deputy chief minister O Panneerselvam seemed to have influenced the temple administration to display his son’s name in such a way. ``The AIADMK had violated poll rules many times and the election commission has not acted on complaints regarding them, and now this is one more instance,’’ he said adding that May 23 would put an end to all such gimmicks. Following the uproar, the controversial plaque was removed in the evening.
A LITTLE TOO SOON?Following the uproar, the controversial plaque was removed in the evening.
