There is a lot of confusion in the nominations that are being filed for the RK Nagar constituency's by-election. Actor Vishal, the president of the Tamil Nadu Film Producers Council, also filed his nomination to contest as an independent candidate in the election. His nomination was initially rejected, and then it was announced that it had been accepted. It was again revealed that it had been dismissed.

Following this confusion, a dejected Vishal took to Twitter to express his disappointment. He said, "Democracy at its lowest low !! Disheartening to hear that the nomination made by me was initially accepted & later when I left, has been announced as invalid.".

After this, he again tweeted by connecting this to the demise of Tamil Nadu's honorable former CM, J Jayalalithaa. He said, " 5th Dec 2016, #Amma died, 5th Dec 2017, #Democracy died.... #SadReality #RIPDemocracy."


After all this confusion, it was confirmed by Vishal that his nomination has been announced as invalid.
