The DMK on Tuesday (October 6, 2026) lodged a complaint with the Election Commission of India (ECI), seeking action against Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam’s (TVK) Dharapuram Assembly segment candidate P. Sathyabama, alleging non-disclosure of election campaign expenditure and violation of the Model Code of Conduct.
DMK MLA S. Austin lodged the complaint with Chief Electoral Officer Archana Patnaik at the Secretariat in Chennai. In his complaint, he referred to a purported video that went viral on social media platforms, in which Ms. Sathyabama was heard saying that “an amount of approximately ₹14 lakh was spent on logistics, including hotel accommodation for visiting dignitaries/Ministers, flight tickets for alliance representatives and setting amounts related to election coordination/resorts.”
