Tamil Nadu Assembly polls | DMK working to wrest western T.N. from AIADMK
The Hindu
There’s more than one claimant to the ruling party’s traditional bastion of 57 Assembly seats in eight revenue districts.
The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) is making all-out efforts to demolish the hold of its principal adversary, the ruling All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK), over the western region of Tamil Nadu, a traditional bastion of the latter. The DMK, which has been out of power for the last 10 years, has devised its strategy for the region, spreading over 57 Assembly seats in eight revenue districts. It is conscious of the fact that this belt made a huge difference to the fortunes of the AIADMK five years ago, yielding 45 seats and accounting for one-third of the ruling party’s overall tally of 137 seats.More Related News
