According to party sources, the functionaries have impressed upon the actor-turned-politician the need to resume his campaign, which was suspended following the Karur tragedy. It would galvanise the TVK cadre and supporters as other political parties are way ahead. Salem was chosen for the resumption since it is close to Karur and restarting from the same region would ensure connectivity and continuity, it is pointed out.
