DMK workers and their allies on Thursday night objected to BJP members campaigning beyond the Election Commission’s stipulated time and this led to a quarrel between the two parties in the Avarampalayam area, police said. A complaint was lodged by a DMK member and Peelamedu police booked cases against four BJP functionaries under various sections of the IPC.
Polling is set to be held in the Coimbatore Lok Sabha constituency on April 19.
