Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam leader Vaiko is expected to enter Parliament again after 15 years by contesting for Rajya Sabha seat. Following a Lok Sabha poll pact, DMK had offered a Rajya Sabha seat for MDMK.
It is speculated that Vaiko would be one of the candidates from DMK-led alliance contesting for a Rajya Sabha seat from the State in the elections that are scheduled for July 18. It is undecided whether he would contest as a candidate of MDMK or DMK.
