Yuvaraj, accused of killing a Dalit youth in Tamil Nadu, has been externed in Tirunelveli where A Ganesh Nadar/Rediff.com met him.
R Rajagopalan, who travelled through Tamil Nadu, says it will be an election of many firsts.
For the AIADMK, winning the Srirangam by-election without Jayalalithaa campaigning for it, and having Panneerselvam as chief minister, is saying a lot in its favour. But again, a year and more is a long time in electoral politics in the country, and more so in Tamil Nadu, says N Sathiya Moorthy.
