The DMDK, under Premalatha Vijayakanth's leadership, has made a significant political shift by rejecting the AIADMK and opting to team up with its political adversary, the DMK. This strategic move has delivered a setback to the NDA's efforts, especially as it tries to consolidate opposition against the DMK in the upcoming Assembly elections.
The DMDK considers this alignment not just a political maneuver but a commitment to maintaining the trust of the people. Premalatha Vijayakanth expressed confidence in winning the elections, attributing her optimism to the endorsement from party founder Vijayakanth and popular support.
This development has stirred reactions within political circles, with BJP leaders acknowledging the vigorous attempts to dissuade Premalatha from affiliating with the DMK, indicating the gravity of the electoral landscape reshaping ahead of the 2026 elections.
