Naam Tamilar Katchi (NTK) leader Seeman has alleged that his party candidates and cadre were attacked while campaigning for the urban civic polls.

Claiming that he and his cadre adhere to COVID-19 restrictions during campaigns, he charged that on the other hand, DMK youth wing leader Udhayanidhi Stalin was conducting massive campaigns violating COVID-19 safety protocols. He questioned who would take responsibility if COVID-19 cases rise after the elections. He said the DMK had not fulfilled poll promises and asked whether the government had distributed ₹ 1,000 cash incentive for women.
