Vadivelu is actively involved in campaigning for the DMK and began his campaign in Thiruvaroor on March 23rd in the presence of the DMK Chief M Karunanidhi. During this election meeting, he made some slanderous remarks about the DMDK Chief Vijayakanth and this was telecasted in some private television channels.
This provoked the DMDK functionary Dileep Kumar to file a complaint with the Election Commission. Taking action on this complaint, the EC has ordered the Thiruvaroor police to file a complaint against Vadivelu for defaming Vijayakanth’s image and to take necessary action.
