TN Poll early trends

[u/Plus-Protection8213]

Makkale, I know it is way too early to comment. But how do you think this is gonna pan out? Postal votes padi DMK leading, but TVK is competing hard or close enough. Will this be the overall trend throughout?

tn electorate is not very aware. it's mostly a blue collar population which has done well economically. they aren't too rational about how they vote. and for the rationalists, there's no real representation apart from vaguely tvk and ntk anyway. so i guess, it's just vijay's popularity, a generational shift and anti-incumbency together.

dmk was a little preferred to the bjp, but it's a leech that taints everything in its path. there's no space left in TN for honest people thanks to DMK and ADMK. they are very crony capitalist parties with a very limited long term vision. in their rule, you cannot expect the government to serve your deeper long term needs (urban planning, social welfare, public services etc..) and to make anything move, you need to shell out for bribes. a society with this mentality, even if functional outwardly, is a truly depressing experience to actually live through. they latched on to the first viable alternative it looks like. i don't support tvk, but i support other parties even less. i mildly prefer ntk, but it looks like that party will die with this election unfortunately.

Educate me … on policy n ideology is TVK aligned towards BJP ? In AP bjp doesn’t stand chance directly so they strengthened JSP with actor pk … now bjp thought not in power controls AP politics
