The development comes when the ADMK has been bracing up a debacle in the local body polls after the ruling DMK has secured a comfortable sweep across the state. 

The wave of support for MK Stalin is clearly visible across Tamil Nadu that no opposition party has come close to the DMK in the majority of seats. 

The opposition party is witnessing yet another magnificent victory of the DMK, which is all set to reign the local bodies including the ADMK's stronghold.

DMK is marching towards a magnificent victory and as of 11.30 am, the party has been leading in more than 70% of the entire urban local bodies in the state. 

The events that unfolded on Monday had become a spear for the opposition parties to attack the ruling DMK and the police for what they called the arrest due to political vendetta. 

Their understanding was in the capability of withdrawing the candidate against each other to secure a hassle-free victory.

A former ADMK Minister had campaigned for the BJP, though both parties had parted ways from their alliance owing to the non-consensus over seat allocation. 

While the local court has initially ordered the police to remand the ADMK candidate in judicial custody, he was awarded conditional bail later.

The polls will be held on February 19 and the votes will be counted on February 22nd. 

Following his demise, the district administration has announced that the election in that particular ward where Kani was contesting will be deferred.
