The DMK is maintaining its streak of electoral victories since 2019 and looks poised for a near-sweep in the Tamil Nadu Lok Sabha polls. With the ruling coalition leading in 38 out of 39 seats, Chief Minister and DMK president M K Stalin’s leadership and his deft handling of alliances, solidifying the state’s largest coalition and keeping it intact since 2019 is being credited with the success.
WHILE OVERALL the exit polls paint a positive picture for the BJP-led NDA, the party will be particularly happy if the predictions hold true for the South.
Tamil Nadu BJP president K Annamalai’s recent statement calling AIADMK icon and ex-chief minister late Jayalalithaa a “Hindutva leader” has been sharply contested by the AIADMK camp and her associates.
As campaigning winds down in Tamil Nadu ahead of polling in all 39 constituencies on Friday, one of the highly anticipated battles will unfold in the cosmopolitan business hub of Coimbatore between the DMK, the AIADMK, and the BJP.
As Tamil Nadu heads for elections in three days, the political battlefield has many small caste-based parties and a BJP determined to make inroads. Perceived as a Brahmin-upper caste party earlier, the BJP is trying to shed the image with outreach to influential OBC groups, and has tied up with several caste-based parties. The ruling DMK, which has a broad-based coalition across caste groups, also has formed alliances with these smaller parties.
WITH ITS mix of prominent castes such as OBC Nadars and Thevars (including Maravars), a substantial presence of SCs/STs, and its large Muslim population, the Tirunelveli Lok Sabha constituency is a testing groundfor the cross-caste consolidation the BJP is building to expand its footprint in Tamil Nadu. What is helping this along in Tirunelveli is the BJP’s choice of candidate, Nainar Nagendran, a popular leader who commands a vote base running across caste and party loyalties.
On his way to address the mega poll rally in Coimbatore, organised by the DMK-led alliance for its candidates from Tamil Nadu’s western districts on Friday evening, Rahul Gandhi made an unscheduled stop at Shree Vigneshwara Sweets and Bakes in Singanallur. The Congress leader stepped out of his bulletproof vehicle to cross over a divider on foot.
K Annamalai is nothing if not confident. This may be his first Lok Sabha election, but there are no signs of it as the Tamil Nadu BJP chief campaigns in his Coimbatore constituency, entertaining supporters till late into the night as they wait to give him a rousing welcome.
