Tamil Nadu’s political chessboard is active with DMK and DMDK locked in seat-sharing parleys for the upcoming Assembly elections. The dialogue promises a strategic pact to counter opposition forces.
DMK’s offer of seven seats in the house and one in Rajya Sabha reflects its drive to assemble a formidable bloc early, positioning itself strongly across the state’s 234 constituencies.
DMDK, however, seeks double that assembly tally at 14 and flirts with NDA overtures, fostering a climate of suspense. DMK insiders project optimism for an early breakthrough.
Eager to shift gears into full campaign mode—including meticulous voter list updates—DMK eyes contests in nearly 170 seats, buoyed by past successes and current momentum.
Other prospects like O Panneerselvam are under review, yet his fragmented base raises doubts on vote sway, prioritizing DMDK’s heftier appeal.
Emphasizing numbers over gestures, DMK crafts a coalition primed for victory. The resolution with DMDK looms large, potentially fortifying the incumbent or scattering alliances anew in Tamil Nadu’s dynamic arena.
