NDA will dethrone DMK govt in next assembly poll: TTV Dhinakaran

Time of India24-06-2025
Salem: Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (AMMK) general secretary T T V Dhinakaran on Tuesday expressed confidence that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) would defeat the DMK-led coalition in the upcoming assembly poll and form govt in Tamil Nadu.
Addressing the meeting after a meeting of AMMK officials at Veerapandi here on the day, he said all parties were invited to the Murugan devotees' conference organized by the Hindu Munnani. When asked about the video clip played at the conference showing Periyar E V Ramasamy and C N Annadurai in poor light, Dhinakaran said those leaders, who were pivotal figures in the Dravidian movement, shouldn't have been criticized at the meeting that was attended by representatives from all parties.
He said it was a regrettable incident.
Dhinakaran said they were collaborating with the NDA with the sole aim of ousting the anti-people DMK govt in the upcoming assembly election. "In the last parliamentary elections, we campaigned under the NDA banner, stressing that the nation's safety hinged on Modi's return as the Prime Minister. We have now rejoined the NDA for a shared objective. A decision on the number of seats the AMMK will contest will be made closer to the election.

In Tamil Nadu, he said the DMK was tarnishing the reputation of the majority Hindu religion under the guise of safeguarding minorities. "Speaking out against Hindus appears to be the only method to defend minority interests."
When asked about the feasibility of a coalition govt in Tamil Nadu, Dhinakaran said there was a possibility for such a govt in the state. "The NDA govt at the Centre has been providing opportunities for alliance parties. Given this approach, there is a possibility for a coalition govt in TN as well."

KTR emphasised that the by-election must be treated with full seriousness and that the party's candidate should secure a decisive victory.

SpiceJet staff assaulted by Army officer over luggage fee, causing serious injuries

7:06 The Congress party has accused the Election Commission of attempting to alter Tamil Nadu's demographics by adding 6.5 lakh migrant workers from Bihar to the state's voter list. Senior Congress leader P. Chidambaram termed the move a 'demographic change bid by the poll body' and an abuse of power to influence elections. The DMK has also voiced strong opposition, with MP A. Raja questioning the procedure and timing of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise. He asked, 'Why you are making such a surreptitious, secret and stealthy manner?' The BJP has dismissed the allegations, with spokesperson Narayanan Tirupati calling the claims 'cheap and silly politics' and questioning why they would add voters that the Congress deems 'anti-BJP' in Bihar to the Tamil Nadu rolls. The controversy connects the deletion of voters in Bihar with their addition in Tamil Nadu.
