Cash Seizure  

The Vellore Lok Sabha constituency went to polls on August 5 after it was cancelled following tax raids and cash seizures in April

The poll to the Vellore Lok Sabha seat, originally scheduled to be held in April alongside some other seats in Tamil Nadu, was cancelled following tax raids here and cash seizures. The poll was held on August 5

The Vellore Lok Sabha seat was the single constituency that didn't go to poll on April 18 when the rest of Tamil Nadu was participating in the Lok Sabha and by-polls, following mass cash seizures on the DMK's side. The poll is scheduled for August 5 and Tamil Nadu chief minister Edappadi K Palaniswami has not stopped himself for blaming MK Stalin

The election flying squad has seized over Rs 50 lakh from vehicles in Vellore during routine checks, ahead of elections. 

The BJP and NDA would in all likelihood surge back to power and Union finance minister Arun Jaitley castigated Congress's first family as its biggest liability rather than an asset.

According to ECI, total cash seizure is Rs 839.03 crore and a majority of the seizures are from Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. ECI has seized Rs 227.95 crores from Tamil Nadu and Rs 139.21 crores from Andhra Pradesh.
 

Almost a week after Tamil Nadu went to polls on April 18, the Election Commission's flying squad is still keeping guard on vehicles. The flying squad has seized Rs 6 lakh from a vehicle in Thoothukudi. 
 

Tamil Nadu bagged the second place in India in terms of cash seizures after the model code of conduct came into effect on March 10. Data proves that the cashflow down south has made the region the vote bazaar of the nation.

ECI has also hinted that cops are not actively checking and has asked them to take stern instructions to all from headquarters.
