Kolathur located in the northwest of Chennai is far from ordinary. Kolathur constituency, one of the most prominent seats in the state, has been represented by Chief Minister MK Stalin for the past 15 years. Naturally, it is closely watched for its infrastructural pressure, civic amenities and efforts to tackle local problems, particularly flooding.
In a four-cornered contest, Mr. Stalin is seeking a fourth consecutive term from Kolathur, aiming to maintain his stronghold while facing familiar rivals from the AIADMK, a veteran who previously served in the AIADMK and recently joined the debutant TVK, and a contender from the NTK.
