AIADMK Farmer's Wing Secretary Bharathiar has now been admitted at the Coonoor Government Hospital for treatment.
The Nilgiris: Coonoor AIADMK MLA Shanthiramu and Wellington Cantonment Zone Deputy Secretary and AIADMK's Farmer's Wing Secretary Bharathiar were having a cold war for sometime.
Because of that Bharathiar was interfering with all the welfare projects done by MLA Shanthiramu during Covid-19. Later MLA Shanthiramu provided the welfare schemes with the help of police officials.
Meanwhile Coonoor Ex MLA Shanthiramu was denied permission to contest on behalf of AIADMK this year. Instead the seat was given to AIADMK district secretary Kappachi D Vinoth.
When Kappachi D Vinoth went to Kotagiri, The Nilgiris to pay his respect to the MGR statue. Ex MLA Shanthiramu and Bharathiar went along with Kappachi D Vinoth to pay their respects, but soon they started fighting while taking pictures and started to push each other down.
This created an argument in the area and the supporters of both Ramu started to attack Bharathi who was continuously pushing Ex MLA Shanthiramu.
Angered by this fight, Shanthiramu punched Barathiar on his face and chest. This created panic and confusion among party members.
Later party seniors calmed Barathiar and made him sit in a car. AIADMK Coonoor Constituency candidate Kappachi D Vinoth calmed both the parties and later took them for campaigning.
Post this Barathiar had a check pain while campaigning in Coonoor and was then admitted at the government hospital in Coonoor for treatment. Police officials are conducting their investigation about the fight between AIADMK members.
