Pressure Cookers Allegedly Distributed By DMK In Erode East; Opposition Asks EC To Take Action

In a video that has gone viral on social media, a few women can be seen showing pressure cookers that they have received in order to vote for EVKS Elangovan, who is the candidate of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) led alliance.

This comes after the seizure of tokens allegedly meant for cash distribution from DMK South Union Treasurer Sarbudeen in Tiruppur.

Earlier, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) state president K Annamalai had written to the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) saying that the DMK was distributing 2 kilograms of meat and cash to bribe voters.

He had written that voters were paid Rs 1000 to sit at a designated place for one day and Rs 5000, if they sat for 20 days.
