Nanguneri Assembly and Vellore Lok Sabha seats to go for polls on August

The vacant Nanguneri Assembly and the bribe-hit Vellore Lok Sabha elections are more likely to take place together on August, says sources.

Kanyakumari MP-elect Vasanth Kumar was the MLA of Nanguneri whose leap to New Delhi has left the seat empty. Whereas, polling was nixed in Vellore due to rampant complaints of bribing the voters.

Satyabrata Sahoo, the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) of Tamil Nadu wrote to the Election Commission with this regard.
