Sidelined AIADMK leader T T V Dinakaran, who is contesting the December 21 R K Nagar assembly bypoll, declared movable and immovable assets worth Rs 74 lakh, a tad higher than that in his earlier
submission in April.

In his affidavit submitted to the Election Commission, along with his nomination papers, today, Dinakaran said the value of his movable and immovable assets stood at Rs 74,17,807 -- immovable assets worth Rs 57.44 lakh and movable assets worth were Rs 16.73 lakh.

Further, the gross total value of movable assets of his spouse and a dependent was around Rs 6.87 crore and Rs 1.17 crore, respectively, the 53-year-old former MP declared in the affidavit.

In April, when Dinakaran filed his nomination as the AIADMK (Amma) candidate backed by Chief Minister K Palaniswami, he had declared assets valued at Rs 68 lakh.

The Election Commission subsequently rescinded the poll notification in view of extensive use of money to influence voters.

Dinakaran's challenger and AIADMK nominee E Madhusudhanan declared movable and immovable assets valued at over Rs 1.49 crore.
