DMK candidate Kanimozhi is up against BJP's Tamilisai Soundararajan in Tamil Nadu's Thoothukudi constituency, while leftist parties in the neighboring Ramanathapuram highlight the region's secular heritage and the fight against British colonial rule. Kanimozhi rallies her supporters in the face of the BJP's centralizing power and urges them to vote to "send the BJP home." Meanwhile, her rival candidates from the AIADMK and Tamil Manila Congress pale in comparison to her previous opponent, who has now returned to the fray in a different constituency.
