The first phase of elections to 14,662 posts in rural local bodies in nine districts will take place on Wednesday. Alliances have broken and there are many friends-turned-rivals in the fray. The election is perceived as a referendum on the four-month-old DMK government and the party is pitted against the opposition in most seats. Seeman’s Naam Tamilar Katchi comes next in fielding candidates in maximum number of seats.
