There were reports suggesting that the poll panel was mulling cancelling the elections due to the alleged use of money to influence voters.
It may be recalled that in 2017, the RK Nagar by-polls were countermanded. In the 2016 TN assembly elections, the EC had postponed elections in Aravakurichi and Thanjavur after huge seizures of cash were made.
