Chidambaram tweeted that bypolls in Tamil Nadu cannot be avoided after Thursday's Madras High Court verdict. However, he said instead of holding bypolls in 20 assembly constituencies, it would be proper to hold a full-fledged assembly poll in the state.

The disqualified legislators are with sidelined party leader TTV Dhinakaran, now an Independent legislator in the Tamil Nadu Assembly.
