BJP TN chief to contest from Virugambakkam constituency

Chennai: Tamil Nadu BJP president Tamilisai Soundararajan will contest from Virugambakkam constituency in the city in the May 16 assembly polls.
 BJP announced its second list of 30 candidates today.

Harbour, Tiruvallur, Villivakkam, Mylapore, Yercaud, Sankagiri, Karaikudi, Madurai South, Thiruparankundram, Sivakasi, Aruppukkottai and Ramanathapuram were among the 30 constituencies for which the party named its candidates.
