“The constituency is named Yercaud because of the hills, but AIADMK party leader did not care to come to the hills,” said Stalin. Stalin would leave Yercaud on Monday evening, ending his four-day campaign in the constituency.
The Collector also warned that those who linger after 5 pm on Monday and fail to leave the constituency would be removed by police.
