: DMK nominee K Venkatesan and AINRC candidate P Nedunchezhian filed nominations for the April 18 byelection to the Thattanchavady assembly seat.
DMK is heading the "Secular progressive alliance" in which the ruling Congress, the VCK and the Left parties are the other partners.
The byelection has become necessary following the disqualification of the sitting legislator Ashok Anand (AINRC) after he was aconvicted by a CBI court in October last in the disproportionate assets case.
The byelection would be held simultaneously with the lone Lok Sabha seat here on April 18.
Tuesday is the last date for filing nominations.
