Plot summary
In the ruling party of Tamil Nadu, the chief minister, Avudaiyappan Mudhaliar, falls ill and is hospitalized, and the party's general secretary, Bojappan, takes over as interim chief minister. Lalgudi Karuppaiah Gandhi, LKG, is a councillor from Lalgudi, Tiruchirappalli, with ambitions of a much bigger political career than his father Azhagu Meiyappan had, and the vacancy expected in the Lalgudi seat draws his attention. He pays V Analytica, an election strategy firm, for help and travels to Delhi for a protest that brings him media coverage. It wins him a meeting with Bojappan at party headquarters in Daryaganj, and Bojappan later names him the ruling party's candidate for the by-election. Deputy-general secretary Ramraj Pandian announces he will contest as an independent.
