CPM state secretary Shanmugam on Thursday campaigned in Puducherry’s Thattanchavadi constituency, extending support to CPI candidate Saleem in the by-election.

During the campaign, Shanmugam said the by-election field was not favourable for TVK, according to reports.

The campaign event was held as part of the CPI-CPM outreach in the constituency ahead of polling.

The by-election campaign in Thattanchavadi has drawn attention as parties step up door-to-door and public outreach efforts in the final stretch.
