Chief Minister and AIADMK general secretary J Jayalalithaa on Monday released the list of AIADMK candidates for the Lok Sabha polls, retaining three sitting MPs — M. Thambidurai (Karur), Dr. P. Venugopal (Tiruvallur) and P. Kumar (Tiruchi), and giving tickets to eight former MLAs but largely going in for new faces with good academic qualifications. However, the Left parties are shocked.
