Kanimozhi, a two-time Rajya Sabha MP, is the daughter of former Chief Minister M Karunanidhi and the half-sister of DMK’s MK Stalin. She won with a 56.8% vote share. The constituency is home to the controversial <keyword id="45465" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sterlite">Sterlite</keyword> power plant. The Sterlite Copper plant came under the scanner last year, after violent protests broke out in Tamil Nadu’s Tuticorin against the plant’s reported adverse impact on pollution. The TNPCB had then ordered for the plant to be shut permanently, citing a provision of the <a href="https://indianexpress.com/article/india/sterlite-plant-tuticorin-vedanta-supreme-court-tamil-nadu-5588840/">Water Act, 1974</a>. In May 2018, in a police firing, 13 people were killed and now, the Supreme Court has ordered the CBI to conduct a fair and impartial investigation regarding the firing, according to ANI. The Supreme Court in February had ordered that the controversial Sterlite Copper plant owned by Vedanta Private Limited in Tamil Nadu will remain <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/supreme-court-refuses-to-allow-reopening-of-sterlite-plant/articleshow/68043399.cms">shut</a>, overturning an earlier order with the country’s main environmental court.

BJP’s poll partner, on the other hand, AIADMK (All India Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam), might find it tough to win more than ten seats, according to most polls.
