Stalin-led DMK set to form govt in Tamil Nadu

Chennai, May 2

Change of guard is all set to happen after 10 years in Tamil Nadu with the DMK-led alliance coasting towards an emphatic victory in the Assembly polls.

“In the history of DMK, a new chapter is set to begin,” said MK Stalin, party president and son of former CM Karunanidhi.

On the factors that worked for DMK, a political analyst cited anti-incumbency against the AIADMK government, the anti-BJP sentiment, alliance arithmetic, the steady cultivation of the perception that it will win the polls over a long period of time, and caste neutrality. In 2019, there was an anti-Modi wave in Tamil Nadu. But this time around, Stalin was at the centre stage, but there was no wave in his favour, the analyst said. — IANS
