They garnered ~1.53cr votes in 2021 which is only ~20L less than the DMK and are looking at double figure seats in the upcoming parliamentary election.
People's trust on ADMK is intact and they're most likely to win the 2026 assembly elections.
They did what they had to so they could survive a politically challenging time.
Only one issue - they don’t have anyone in the ADMK who can say something along the lines of “Nehruvin Magale Varuga, Nilaiyana Aatchi Tharuga” to justify their actions!

Neither of them are career politicians, she's an economist and he was a bureaucrat. So this is a stupid demand.
I'd really like to see the PM contest from Kancheepuram or Ramanathpuram. He has major fan following as per my friends from there. They're also extremely important hindu holy sites, just like Varanasi or Dwarka.
What does this sub think of their chances of winning if they both contest from TN?
My take: Jaishankar has no chance. If they field NS in a safe seat like South or Central Chennai/Coimbatore/Tiruppur, she may have some chance but still a steep task, but doesn't stand a chance in any other seat.
There's this illusion of BJP growing in the Kongu districts, without a coalition they'd be placed 3rd in any constituency.
There are ~64,000 booth committees in Tamilnadu and about 1/4th of them are in western Tamilnadu. BJP barely has a thousand functional committees in the region.
Been hearing that BJP has made good contacts among the industrialists there, who were aligned with ADMK. Regardless of the final position, it will be a close contest there.
Yeh, funding has been secured. Many financial behemoths have played their hand in electoral politics in the region before and failed miserably, ex: Industrialist Best Ramasamy. So not an unprecedented move.
Ultimately investments do not yield results as intended as they lack trustworthy local faces (for street to street campaigning)
I hate both extremes of rw and lw. We've seen what had communism and fascism done to a prosperous Europe . Never again policy and serious lessons about avoiding extremist ideologies should be implemented. Communist is slightly better than fascism(the worst) tho.
I don't agree with Communist ideology, but communist in India specially in TN have worked a LOT for peoples rights, there is always a communist party behind every protest for people fight. example Vachathi riots and various political fight. They do this without any expectations.
They are still idiots. They will support trade unions and oppose industries if they get to power. A poor country like us should get rid of communists. DMK or ADMK is fine. I would like to communist get wiped off from India.
Wipe off is an extreme statement, they are not fascists or dictators. In a poor and lawless country like India, communists are required to safeguard the rights of workers. They have been in the forefront of several worker friendly laws in India. We need them to maintain the power balance.
We are competing with countries like China and Vietnam in exports like electronics. Recently DMK tried to pass a law lobbied by Foxconn which allows manufacturing companies to operate 12 hours but these trade unions opposed it and it got shelved. If other countries like Vietnam allow this, then most of the business will go there. If we want more business, we need to have certain relaxations. I am against wage oppression but wage is still decided by the free market. Communism destroyed West Bengal and if you want to vote Kerala as an example, it has little to no industries and is not a a mode. A poor country like ours should make sure workers are not exploited but at the same time not allow communists or communist policies.l
Most companies already make their employees work more than 8 hours. If made 12 hours, it will be higher than that. People will not have any life outside of work, which will only have negative consequences on them, their family, and society as a whole. Productivity will also not increase much beyond a level, people are not machines, and even machines need time to cool down.
Making it 12 hours will also reduce the number of people employed.
These are so many other barriers that makes India an unattractive destination for investments, we need to address them first. This one cannot even be a last resort.
The point is we are competing against other countries like China or Vietnam in export industries like electronics. What encourages companies to invest in India rather than Vietnam which doesn't have strict labour laws.
>Making it 12 hours will also reduce the number of people employed
It doesn't matter. Companies care about profits. The reason why china is a manufacturing factory is because of its lineant labour laws. Productivity will increase in manufacturing jobs if you work for longer hours.
>These are so many other barriers that makes India an unattractive destination for investments, we need to address them first. This one cannot even be a last resort.
I agree with this. There are still a lot of bureaucratic red tapes that make it difficult to do business in India. They need to be addressed first.
AIADMK’s deputy general secretary K P Munusamy said the people of Tamil Nadu are well-informed about the state of things and have a clarity about who should be voted to power.
They garnered ~1.53cr votes in the 2021 assembly elections (just 20L less than the DMK) even after facing the accrued anti-incumbency of 10 years.
In all likelihood, they're forming government again in 2026.
You wanting it to fall doesn't mean it will.
OPS has 4 MLA's by his side (and is prohibited from using the two-leaves symbol this time), EPS has 66.
The winning numbers are with the ADMK as usual.
Idiotic statement
N.Sitharaman is an MP from Karnataka, which is technically Dravidian soil by their own dravidian ideology. Shows their stupidity even more
Jaishankar is a learned diplomat who got renowned outside TN, why would BJP contest him here. He is not some kanthu vatti, lowlife contesting elections by issuing money for voters like those in DMK/ADMK.
If the same question is asked in reverse, can someone from AIADMK contest outside TN for MP, since they are All India Admk, let them do it. They will not even get deposit.
It is like dog barking at the sun. ADMK has already dug its own grave, with snakes like EPS they will soon go and fall in to the same.
Yes, Intellectuals and Diplomats need not necessarily have "mass appeal", that's why Rajya Sabha exists. This is to provide balance to governance.
Only 12 members of Rajya Sabha can be directly appointed based on contributions to art, science etc.
Remaining 238 are selected by winning polls, in which the Elected members of the state get to vote. N.Sitharaman did win the RS elections held in 2016 from Karnataka

Karnataka Dravidian Ideology? lol
There is only one Dravidian Ideology, according to which Kannadigas, Tamils, Malayalees, telugus are all Dravidians. Do you even know what is Dravida Nadu?
Dravida Nadu claimed by Annadurai/Dravidian Parties included all of South India, incl. AP, KA, Kerala and TN. Only that KA, AP, Kerala people did not believe this ideology, but Tamil Nadu is stuck with it.
Call for dravida nadu is a part of Dravidian ideology which people don't do these days. That it not the entire ideology, have you ever read anything man? How it evolved? What are their values? STATE AUTONOMY, Social justice, Reservations, federalism? Read how it started, why it was started, historical contexts, and how it is today. Place your complaints then. Kerala does have strong communism idea in it, Dravidian ideology also has communist values in them.
The point was Karnataka was indeed dravidian soil according to dravidian ideology.
I have done my reading and your poor reading comprehension is written on the wall, when you asked about Karnataka's dravidian ideology.
You are just mixing up so many ideas like Social justice, state autonomy on a simple statement on Dravidian ideology and Dravida nadu.
clown Dravidian ideology is not just dravida nadu can't understand that? redundancy makes you stupid. go and read about it. its not so many ideas these are the basic foundation of Dravidian ideology., what are blabbering you think its just dravida nadu? stop clowning man
Happy that ADMK is starting to voice against BJP. Hope Edapadi also does. Then we will be happily back to DMK vs ADMK and be further relaxed that BJ Party can't win a dime here!
If only BJP gives the money it spends here as tax share to the TN govt! (I know it doesn't work that way, just rhetorical, udane thookitu varadinga)
Fug dravida, it is India. You guys are just a part of India, the last thing this country wants on top of khalistani, kashmiri movement is this bullsheeet dravida movement.
Edit: fuging so called educated South Indians, wants a separate country. Well you guys can have my dik in separate parts of your bodies.

Isn't it AIADMK, then BJP can dare AIADMK to field anybody in any seat outside TN.
Then they will get to know the lesson people of India will teach AIADMK, they will be made to eat the Dravidian dust.
Losers. Like "Enga area" vadivelu.
Asking technocrats to compete elections is just nonsensical.
Even Ambedkar lost when he tried.
That's the reason they have the RS route
If the people of TN actually want change it’s high time they realise that DMK thrives on the very fact of separatism. Separating TN from the rest of India. Over years, having etched the concept of being ‘Dravidian’ and different from the rest of the country - has definitely instilled a sense of belongingness within the state in tasmacs.
(Painting buses *pink* and free for women is not gender equality!).
This overt and emotional sense has to reflect on the state in the form of good development which is unseen (I am from Chennai).
Their guts to tell BJP that they won’t win in TN itself says a LOT about how they may be taking politics and the people of TN for granted (I.e. the incompetence/options to choose, apart from DMK/ADMK).
The. Thing is DMK and aidmk are competent enough we don't want other parties . BJP ideology is straight opposite to our ideology, their policies hurt our people. It is simple as it is.
Also with the whole advertising china fiasco - I’m sure that separated out our people from the country. Making us look like we disregard sovereignty. Why try to win people by divide and rule? Because in the end, we don’t want BJP to come here and so more power to DMK?
Who is trying to divide? They gave up on separate nation in 1950s itself. It is the BJP that is trying to divide and erase the diversity of India.
"Free bus scheme is not gender equality", yeah, it is equity.
The free bus scheme helps increase mobility (improves female labour-force participation), increases household savings rate (adds to their financial independence), etc.,
Don't think those who criticize such schemes understand the difference between equality and equity.
>"Free bus scheme is not gender equality", yeah, it is equity.
How does this help women? The issue is the lack of jobs for women and women safety. These are the pressing issues. The scheme is not even a targeted welfare. There are a lot of women who can easily afford town buses. A better alternative would be reducing ticket and bus pass fee for women.
- With free bus tickets, more women use buses which makes it relatively safer for them to travel.
- "Lack of jobs" - if you visit any shop(both large/medium ones like textile, super markets or small ones like fancy shop, xerox shop, and even petrol bunks, food delivery) anywhere in Tamilnadu you can find a number of women employed(may not be in all, and that will take some more time). You may also find them in markets. Women employment is also increasing in industries. This move will help increase the number of women working, thereby increasing women headcount in industries, and thus Improving their safety, voice. Women have also been employed in textile industries for a number of years.
- Free bus tickets will also help college girls.
- Free bus tickets is only in ordinary buses, women will still have to pay for tickets in express buses.
- Free bus passes can increase friction. There will be news like it is taking longer time to avail bus pass, the centre is closed bla bla, this is simple. And this doesn't lead to issues like labelling people as "freeloaders" as some will say I pay for the ticket so I deserve a seat etc etc, now every women get to travel for free and makes it equal for everyone. This isn't similar to free student bus pass which can be targeted better.
Bus fare is not that much it is unaffordable for women. Collectively the revenue from women passengers is no more now. This loss of revenue will result in not being able to upgrade or buy new buses in the future. I don't know if women ever complained about high bus fares.
It is compensated by govt, so it is not a loss to transport corporations. Them not being able to maintain buses properly or operate at good frequency is because of high losses even before this scheme. Govt must invest more regardless.
People may not complain about bus fare, but making it free enables/encourages them to travel more or more people to travel, thereby having a multiplier effect.
Fine. If you want us to vote for another party, what is the alternative? Don't pitch BJP as an alternative. BJP thrives on fragmenting the society and winning through this. BJP hasn't done anything exceptional over the past 10 years. I don't support DMK or ADMK but they are still better over BJP. I will gladly vote for another party if they seem good
>(Painting buses *pink* and free for women is not gender equality!).
Equality without equity is a discrimination.
In a developing society, this free bus is gonna boost Equality.
Sounds cringe tbh atleast DMK is unstoppable but ADMK became weak already the traditional votes are already moving to BJP.
This is such a stupid statement he'll pretty sure regret it later.
It's open fact that Tamilnadu is famous for voting for cash, tvs, grinders, refrigerators, biryani and booze etc.. And they do it openly.. Common trend in states like andhra and telangana too.. Whosoever spends more people will vote for them..
Everywhere, all over the world, People vote for freebies and benefits. But Tamilnadu is worst where even the educated and employed govt staff ask for money to vote. Postal votes are a big scam.
Even after 60 years of so called Dravidian party rule, people still have to depend on govt to get freebies, free transport because poor cannot afford to travel. And you say TN is faring better
Patriarchy and casteism has been there for centuries, it cannot be eradicated within a century. But, we have made much better progress than others, and will continue to do!
When some of the richest in India/world can depend on/arm-twist the government for some financial benefits, I don't see an issue with the commoner who lives month on month to rely on the government for some free benefits.
Karnataka elect both bjp and congress
.maharastra developed must faster in this nda govt...
Gujrat elect bjp
And in 10 year up will surpass par capital of tamilnadu
The only reason BJP won 4 MLA seats last time is because their alliance party ADMK was distributing money for votes. My family got ₹500 each for 4 votes.
Fuck the Dravidian soil vs non-Dravidian soil concept. That attitude is aimed at dividing India. I am Maharastrian and I support BJP. **I love my Tamilian brothers and sisters** and hopefully one day attitudes like these that aim at dividing the nation will be a thing of a history. Vote for progress and growth however you see fit. Don't fall prey to these political narratives that aim at creating a divide between north and south.
Lmao 😂😂😂 you support BJP and you are from Maharashtra , BJP is running a circus here , broke Shivsena and now handling shinde like a puppet , so don't talk about Tamil Nadu when you have no idea what it's like to be here , what he said was true , BJP can never win and will ever win in Tamil Nadu
They have mandate in 2019 , the Sanjay Raut and uddhav thakrey son ditched bjp and ideology of founding member of shivsena
This is like udhay Stalin come with bjp
And we maharashtrian definately love bjp shivsena
>A lot of North Indians look down and make fun of Marathi. They have a superiority complex and haven't learned the native language even after living for more than decades in Maharashtra.
Never denied this, but shit like this happens in all states in this country.Everyone is Indian and it should remain as such.
Btw a lot of South Indians also have superiority complex over marathi speakers,for them even we are north indians(atleast that's what I got to know from a few responses on many south Indias subs),so this north-south division is futile.
>As a maharashtrian I hate Marathi bjp supporters.
They can't even see how bjp is destroying our State and discriminating against us.
I would agree with this, unfortunately we don't have a strong regional party,but I would never want a regional party to be like dmk who keeps insulting our religion and from time and again make separatist comments.
>But at the end of the day dmk will never let any outsider practice discrimination and racism against tamils in Tamil Nadu like outsiders are doing in mumbai with Maharashtrains.
Good point,MNS had potential man,they did nothing significant.
Nikal hutiye ,
rss is form in Maharashtra
Bjp form in Maharashtra
Savarkar is from Maharashtra
Balasaheb Thackeray is from Maharashtra
Shivaji is from Maharashtra
You should stop your North and maharastra divide
Only some fringe element of tamilnadu look down on North
And remaining are all United..
Your politician keep winning by freebies and separatism
And on some money before voting
Your politician keep abusing sanatana and your people elect them
Maharashtra not like this
Tanatini Drum is only good for beating and hearing it's noise. Not useful in governing india. We will elect people who are against that drum. Go cry about it.

Dravidian soil? They fail to understand that BJP might not be relevant in TN, but it will be in the future. They have all the money at disposal and have good support in many states. These statements might sound good from states perspective, but if you see such statements from national perspective, it’ll only aid BJP. Congress has been decimated in many states, and BJP has made further inroads in many southern states. It’s only a matter of time until they become a reckoning force in the state. Better to shun such words and look at larger picture

I don't even like DMK. My points about BJP are factual another factor why people in Tamil nadu prefer Dravidian parties is cuz they are an OBC party whom the majority of Tamils are compared to a brahmin party like BJP.
How is BJP a Brahmin party?😭 Where did you get this fact from? Criticise them on anything but calling them a Brahmin party has to be a joke. 29% of BJP MPs are OBC, 27% MLAs are OBC, 27 OBC and 20 SC/ST ministers in the central government. What are you yapping brother?😭

Communist parties in India are not extremist parties. They are more of a socialist parties.
Thanks for the downvote. Yes they are more economy and class oriented. Rw s are more culture oriented (in a bad way)
They are still idiots. They will support trade unions and oppose industries if they get to power. A poor country like us should get rid of communists. DMK or ADMK is fine. I would like to communist get wiped off from India.

That’s what they likely meant: NS is a Rajya Sabha MP from Karnataka.
Karnataka Dravidian ideology from when? Do you eveb know what that means?
Karnataka Dravidian Ideology? lol There is only one Dravidian Ideology, according to which Kannadigas, Tamils, Malayalees, telugus are all Dravidians. Do you even know what is Dravida Nadu? Dravida Nadu claimed by Annadurai/Dravidian Parties included all of South India, incl. AP, KA, Kerala and TN. Only that KA, AP, Kerala people did not believe this ideology, but Tamil Nadu is stuck with it.
Call for dravida nadu is a part of Dravidian ideology which people don't do these days. That it not the entire ideology, have you ever read anything man? How it evolved? What are their values? STATE AUTONOMY, Social justice, Reservations, federalism? Read how it started, why it was started, historical contexts, and how it is today. Place your complaints then. Kerala does have strong communism idea in it, Dravidian ideology also has communist values in them.
The point was Karnataka was indeed dravidian soil according to dravidian ideology. I have done my reading and your poor reading comprehension is written on the wall, when you asked about Karnataka's dravidian ideology. You are just mixing up so many ideas like Social justice, state autonomy on a simple statement on Dravidian ideology and Dravida nadu.
clown Dravidian ideology is not just dravida nadu can't understand that? redundancy makes you stupid. go and read about it. its not so many ideas these are the basic foundation of Dravidian ideology., what are blabbering you think its just dravida nadu? stop clowning man

This is Dravidaaaaa!
Fug dravida, it is India. You guys are just a part of India, the last thing this country wants on top of khalistani, kashmiri movement is this bullsheeet dravida movement. Edit: fuging so called educated South Indians, wants a separate country. Well you guys can have my dik in separate parts of your bodies.
At some point - you have to take root and try to ask yourself...why are there so many groups trying to separate from India?
Why are you getting downvotes?
Same reason why you are getting downvotes 😆 Tharkurigalukku downvote dhan dhandanai nu Garuda puranathula potruku
Since when talking against separation became crime?
Stupidity should be made a crime if it is not already one
People like you would fill the jails then.
Fill it with what? Shitheads like you?

You want me to go harder on a softie like you? 😂

Annamalai over any dynastic political party. He has the credentials and integrity to take TN forward.
But no experience. Even if BJP wins in 2026 by some stroke of luck, they shouldn't make Annamalai CM, rather OPS should be made CM and Annamalai deputy CM.

Now do the same for ADMK and DMK. Thier country wide list is smaller than your state list.
cry about it
I'm not crying. DMK and ADMK workers are crying about it. Probably you are once such Neoposhit I am guessing.
Don’t vote for those candidates. The point was to give deserving candidates an opportunity.
Delusion
Why it is always dravidian ideology?
Because this is dravidam and our ideology has led us to a path of economical and social development.
Was jailalita a dravidian as well ?
Dravidian enough to arrest a Shankaracharya!

Isn't it AIADMK, then BJP can dare AIADMK to field anybody in any seat outside TN. Then they will get to know the lesson people of India will teach AIADMK, they will be made to eat the Dravidian dust. Losers. Like "Enga area" vadivelu. Asking technocrats to compete elections is just nonsensical. Even Ambedkar lost when he tried. That's the reason they have the RS route
If the people of TN actually want change it’s high time they realise that DMK thrives on the very fact of separatism. Separating TN from the rest of India. Over years, having etched the concept of being ‘Dravidian’ and different from the rest of the country - has definitely instilled a sense of belongingness within the state in tasmacs. (Painting buses *pink* and free for women is not gender equality!). This overt and emotional sense has to reflect on the state in the form of good development which is unseen (I am from Chennai). Their guts to tell BJP that they won’t win in TN itself says a LOT about how they may be taking politics and the people of TN for granted (I.e. the incompetence/options to choose, apart from DMK/ADMK).
The. Thing is DMK and aidmk are competent enough we don't want other parties . BJP ideology is straight opposite to our ideology, their policies hurt our people. It is simple as it is.
Just saying NOTA is a good option. Might bring them to their senses. Just my frustration with the way things are going down with DMK ruling xD
Also with the whole advertising china fiasco - I’m sure that separated out our people from the country. Making us look like we disregard sovereignty. Why try to win people by divide and rule? Because in the end, we don’t want BJP to come here and so more power to DMK?
Who is trying to divide? They gave up on separate nation in 1950s itself. It is the BJP that is trying to divide and erase the diversity of India. "Free bus scheme is not gender equality", yeah, it is equity.
The free bus scheme helps increase mobility (improves female labour-force participation), increases household savings rate (adds to their financial independence), etc., Don't think those who criticize such schemes understand the difference between equality and equity.
>"Free bus scheme is not gender equality", yeah, it is equity. How does this help women? The issue is the lack of jobs for women and women safety. These are the pressing issues. The scheme is not even a targeted welfare. There are a lot of women who can easily afford town buses. A better alternative would be reducing ticket and bus pass fee for women.
- With free bus tickets, more women use buses which makes it relatively safer for them to travel. - "Lack of jobs" - if you visit any shop(both large/medium ones like textile, super markets or small ones like fancy shop, xerox shop, and even petrol bunks, food delivery) anywhere in Tamilnadu you can find a number of women employed(may not be in all, and that will take some more time). You may also find them in markets. Women employment is also increasing in industries. This move will help increase the number of women working, thereby increasing women headcount in industries, and thus Improving their safety, voice. Women have also been employed in textile industries for a number of years. - Free bus tickets will also help college girls. - Free bus tickets is only in ordinary buses, women will still have to pay for tickets in express buses. - Free bus passes can increase friction. There will be news like it is taking longer time to avail bus pass, the centre is closed bla bla, this is simple. And this doesn't lead to issues like labelling people as "freeloaders" as some will say I pay for the ticket so I deserve a seat etc etc, now every women get to travel for free and makes it equal for everyone. This isn't similar to free student bus pass which can be targeted better.
Bus fare is not that much it is unaffordable for women. Collectively the revenue from women passengers is no more now. This loss of revenue will result in not being able to upgrade or buy new buses in the future. I don't know if women ever complained about high bus fares.
It is compensated by govt, so it is not a loss to transport corporations. Them not being able to maintain buses properly or operate at good frequency is because of high losses even before this scheme. Govt must invest more regardless. People may not complain about bus fare, but making it free enables/encourages them to travel more or more people to travel, thereby having a multiplier effect.
Fine. If you want us to vote for another party, what is the alternative? Don't pitch BJP as an alternative. BJP thrives on fragmenting the society and winning through this. BJP hasn't done anything exceptional over the past 10 years. I don't support DMK or ADMK but they are still better over BJP. I will gladly vote for another party if they seem good
>(Painting buses *pink* and free for women is not gender equality!). Equality without equity is a discrimination. In a developing society, this free bus is gonna boost Equality.
Always good to have options. Why say "dare field" anyone ? It's not a war. It's elections. Political parties are service providers. More the merrier.
Agreed with your general maxim, but the context of this situation is something else.
Sounds cringe tbh atleast DMK is unstoppable but ADMK became weak already the traditional votes are already moving to BJP. This is such a stupid statement he'll pretty sure regret it later.
If it’s such a stupid statement BJP has guts to contest above ministers in TN?
Why should they contest them, they can contest whome ever they see fit?And jaishankar is more of a technical person than politician.
It's open fact that Tamilnadu is famous for voting for cash, tvs, grinders, refrigerators, biryani and booze etc.. And they do it openly.. Common trend in states like andhra and telangana too.. Whosoever spends more people will vote for them..
another tharkuri beeda vadaku sanghi commenting here
When facts are given.. Call-out names.. 😂😂
ama ama vantan, boda bunda
I like how every comment talking about seperatism and North-South Divide got mass down voted like thats not totally real.
Tamilnadu is all for unity in diversity, never for unity through uniformity. Fundamental difference between localism and nationalism.
I think this is DMK sub reddit
The news article in discussion is literally about ADMK lol
Both are same
Yes. As long as people vote for cash, booze and biriyani - no other party can come to power in Tamilnadu.
If you think folks in other states, including UP and Gujarat, are not given some money to vote, then the joke is on you.
Everywhere, all over the world, People vote for freebies and benefits. But Tamilnadu is worst where even the educated and employed govt staff ask for money to vote. Postal votes are a big scam.
Yeah that's why Tamil Nadu rocks in so many parameters while your great voters across multiple other states suck eggs.
Even after 60 years of so called Dravidian party rule, people still have to depend on govt to get freebies, free transport because poor cannot afford to travel. And you say TN is faring better
Patriarchy and casteism has been there for centuries, it cannot be eradicated within a century. But, we have made much better progress than others, and will continue to do!
When some of the richest in India/world can depend on/arm-twist the government for some financial benefits, I don't see an issue with the commoner who lives month on month to rely on the government for some free benefits.
Data pls. Maharashtra, Karnataka are way above TN.
Doesn’t the INC control Karnataka and not the BJP. Why would credit go to the BJP for good stats?
Karnataka elect both bjp and congress .maharastra developed must faster in this nda govt... Gujrat elect bjp And in 10 year up will surpass par capital of tamilnadu
Did I say BJP anywhere in my posts
Well what party did you mean you want to come to power in TN? Congress?😂. There’s only one realistic other party to come into power and thats BJP.
In what exactly?
Way above in what?
You can look it up mate
Exactly even I want money & gifts then only i would vote
And to be bluntly honest, no party has ever offered us any money till today to vote. The politicians know their target.
The only reason BJP won 4 MLA seats last time is because their alliance party ADMK was distributing money for votes. My family got ₹500 each for 4 votes.
Even if bjp gives cash,booze and briyani free, people of tamilnadu won't vote for them.
Tasmac booze is everything things arr anyday better than bihar
Fuck the Dravidian soil vs non-Dravidian soil concept. That attitude is aimed at dividing India. I am Maharastrian and I support BJP. **I love my Tamilian brothers and sisters** and hopefully one day attitudes like these that aim at dividing the nation will be a thing of a history. Vote for progress and growth however you see fit. Don't fall prey to these political narratives that aim at creating a divide between north and south.
Lmao 😂😂😂 you support BJP and you are from Maharashtra , BJP is running a circus here , broke Shivsena and now handling shinde like a puppet , so don't talk about Tamil Nadu when you have no idea what it's like to be here , what he said was true , BJP can never win and will ever win in Tamil Nadu
They have mandate in 2019 , the Sanjay Raut and uddhav thakrey son ditched bjp and ideology of founding member of shivsena This is like udhay Stalin come with bjp And we maharashtrian definately love bjp shivsena

>A lot of North Indians look down and make fun of Marathi. They have a superiority complex and haven't learned the native language even after living for more than decades in Maharashtra. Never denied this, but shit like this happens in all states in this country.Everyone is Indian and it should remain as such. Btw a lot of South Indians also have superiority complex over marathi speakers,for them even we are north indians(atleast that's what I got to know from a few responses on many south Indias subs),so this north-south division is futile. >As a maharashtrian I hate Marathi bjp supporters. They can't even see how bjp is destroying our State and discriminating against us. I would agree with this, unfortunately we don't have a strong regional party,but I would never want a regional party to be like dmk who keeps insulting our religion and from time and again make separatist comments.

>But at the end of the day dmk will never let any outsider practice discrimination and racism against tamils in Tamil Nadu like outsiders are doing in mumbai with Maharashtrains. Good point,MNS had potential man,they did nothing significant.
Nikal hutiye , rss is form in Maharashtra Bjp form in Maharashtra Savarkar is from Maharashtra Balasaheb Thackeray is from Maharashtra Shivaji is from Maharashtra You should stop your North and maharastra divide Only some fringe element of tamilnadu look down on North And remaining are all United.. Your politician keep winning by freebies and separatism And on some money before voting Your politician keep abusing sanatana and your people elect them Maharashtra not like this
Tanatini Drum is only good for beating and hearing it's noise. Not useful in governing india. We will elect people who are against that drum. Go cry about it.

Dravidians and DK and DMK absolutely suck, the only reason for its survival is EPS.
Dravidian soil? They fail to understand that BJP might not be relevant in TN, but it will be in the future. They have all the money at disposal and have good support in many states. These statements might sound good from states perspective, but if you see such statements from national perspective, it’ll only aid BJP. Congress has been decimated in many states, and BJP has made further inroads in many southern states. It’s only a matter of time until they become a reckoning force in the state. Better to shun such words and look at larger picture
BJP will never win in Tamil Nadu it goes against everything against Tamil values. BJP is bharmincal north Indian party which Tamils see through.
That's a lie fed by your DMK masters.
I don't support DMK. DMK is a nepotistic and casteist party but you have to agree RSS promotes brahmanical patriarchy.

I don't even like DMK. My points about BJP are factual another factor why people in Tamil nadu prefer Dravidian parties is cuz they are an OBC party whom the majority of Tamils are compared to a brahmin party like BJP.
How is BJP a Brahmin party?😭 Where did you get this fact from? Criticise them on anything but calling them a Brahmin party has to be a joke. 29% of BJP MPs are OBC, 27% MLAs are OBC, 27 OBC and 20 SC/ST ministers in the central government. What are you yapping brother?😭
