Tamil Nadu election 2026: Leemarose trying her luck in DMK’s pocketborough Lalgudi constituency

The entry of Leemarose Martin, wife of lottery baron Santiago Martin, who is testing the electoral battle on the AIADMK ticket, has made Lalgudi constituency one of the closely watched constituencies in the state.

Ever since the AIADMK nominated Devakottai-born Ms Leemarose, cadres have been visiting every village in the constituency and collecting votes for her. The reception he received in the villages excited the AIADMK workers, who had not been able to win any seats since 2006. They are working overtime to ensure the victory of Ms. Rose, the richest candidate in the assembly elections.
