'DMK has chance': Expelled AIADMK leader O Panneerselvam on Tamil Nadu assembly polls

O Panneerselvam, the recently expelled leader of the AIADMK, has made headlines by unexpectedly meeting Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin at the Assembly Secretariat. This meeting follows Panneerselvam's departure from the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), signaling a potential shift in his political stance. During the encounter, Panneerselvam expressed his belief that the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) party has a significant opportunity in the upcoming Tamil Nadu assembly elections. His meeting with Stalin has sparked speculation about possible collaborations or alliances ahead of the polls. This development comes amid a tumultuous political landscape in Tamil Nadu, where the DMK and AIADMK have historically been rival parties. Panneerselvam's move could indicate a strategic realignment in the state's politics as the elections approach, potentially impacting voter dynamics and party strategies. As the political climate evolves, stakeholders in Tamil Nadu are closely observing these shifts and their implications for future governance in the state.
