Kalan, Chinnasamy to contest as INTUC candidates

Chennai, Mar 25 (UNI) General Secretary of the Tamil Nadu INTUC G Kalan will seek election from Villivakkam, while Mr R Chinnasamy, Secretary National Textile Union, Coimbatore, will contest from Singanallur constituency in the May 8 elections to Tamil Nadu assembly.

State INTUC President P L Subbaiah, in a statement here today, said as the INTUC had forged an alliance with the ruling AIADMK, its candidates would contest on the AIADMK's official symbol of ''two leaves''.

Mr Kalan and Subbaiah had forged the alliance with AIADMK and were allotted two seats. This was objected to by another faction led by state INTUC vice-President N Nanjappan, who also called for disciplinary action against Mr Kalan and others, for allegedly acting against the constitution of the organisations.
