The DMK-led Secular Progressive Alliance’s clean sweep in Tamil Nadu has left principal Opposition party AIADMK grappling with questions about its future, given that it has faced a poll debacle for the second straight parliamentary election, and has provided the BJP with a silver lining despite troubles of its own.
With Tamil Nadu’s main Opposition party AIADMK pulling out of the July 10 Vikravandi Assembly bypoll, the odds seem to be in favour of the ruling party DMK, as has been the case with a number of bypolls over the last several years in the state.
As the AIADMK looks to regroup after the Lok Sabha poll debacle in Tamil Nadu, there are calls to reunite the different factions of the party and the person leading it is V K Sasikala, a once-influential aide of late party supremo Jayalalithaa.
Former Tamil Nadu BJP chief and ex-Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan who was in the news for much of last year over her run-ins with the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS)-led Telangana government finds herself in the news yet again. This time it is over a viral video clip that is being interpreted by a section of BJP leaders as Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s “admonishment” of her “unwarranted public comments” against current Tamil Nadu BJP president K Annamalai.
DMK MP Kanimozhi’s appointment earlier this week as the party’s parliamentary floor leader marks a major elevation for the leader and sets the stage for her to assume a prominent national role.
Interpreting it as an “admonishment” of her “unwarranted public comments”, a section of BJP leaders in Tamil Nadu have taken aim at ex-state chief and former Telangana governor Tamilisai Soundararajan over a video of an interaction between her and Home Minister Amit Shah.
With more than one lakh votes in 12 Lok Sabha constituencies in Tamil Nadu, a third-place finish in six – ahead of not just the BJP and but also the AIADMK at places – and nearly tripling of its vote share from 3.8% in 2019 to 8.2%, the Naam Tamilar Katchi (NTK) has ensured a place for itself as a formidable player in state politics.
The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and its allies looked poised for a clean sweep of all 39 Lok Sabha seats in Tamil Nadu, with neither the AIADMK nor the BJP leading in any constituency by Tuesday evening, according to Election Commission data.
