Union min Shobha Karandlaje booked over controversial remarks on TN people
The DMK has also filed a complaint with the Election Commission of India (ECI) against Karandlaje for her alleged hate speech.
DMK Working President MK Stalin on Saturday said the party will retain N Marudhu Ganesh as its candidate for the ensuing by-election for the Radhakrishnan Nagar assembly constituency in Tamil Nadu.
Speaking to reporters here, Stalin said party General Secretary K Anbazhagan has announced Ganesh will be the party candidate for the December 21 by-election.
The seat fell vacant following the death of Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa on December 5, 2016.

Though the by-election was scheduled for April 12, 2017, it was countermanded following reports of attempted voter bribing by a candidate.
Stalin also said the DMK would also seek the support of other parties for its candidate.
