"With the proposed candidate the party chooses to lose a constituency," said Gundan. We stress for a Badaga candidate." According to the supporters of Ramachandran, Coonoor constituency is considered always prestigious and has always been a DMK stronghold. T Gundan, Ex-MLA and senior DMK leader, while speaking on the occasion, said, "We certainly want a change in the allotment for the Coonoor constituency. Over 5,000 supporters who gathered in Kotagiri, mostly belonging to Badaga community, stressed that the DMK supremo should consider the demands of the community, who are indigenous people of the hills. The Coonoor assembly constituency comprises many Badaga villages, besides Kotagiri town, panchayat and colonies. The DMK party allotted the Coonoor assembly seat to Mubarak, who is said to be a loyalist of DMK treasurer M K Stalin. However, he was denied a ticket in this election. He has won the election consecutively in 20. Ramachandran, belonging to the Badaga community, has been in the party for over four decades and has served as the DMK Nilgiri district secretary for 13 years till 2015. The Coonoor constituency ticket has been given to Mubarak, who is the present DMK Nilgiris district secretary.
