Tamil Nadu will go to the polls later this yr, in all probability by mid-April 2016. The election battle will probably be primarily between the 2 highly effective Dravidian events – the ruling AIADMK and the opposition DMK – though smaller events are giving themselves a preventing probability.

Interestingly, this time the query earlier than the Tamil Nadu citizens is probably not which of the 2 Dravidian events to vote for however why the opposition DMK or People’s Welfare Front (PWF)- a 3rd entrance floated by Left events – must be given an opportunity.

However, observers and prime bureaucrats consider that Jayalalithaa might exploit aid work and direct cash transfers for flood victims to swing the elections her method.

Sources in the AIADMK stated they’re now planning on alliances. “There are indications from Amma. We will come to find out about it by January 20,” stated a senior chief. Sources in the PWF, stated this month will probably be essential. “There is not any level in holding a entrance going with out even 15 per cent vote share. If there’s a robust wave towards DMK and AIADMK, our 6 to 10 per cent vote share will nonetheless not double to twenty per cent,” he stated.

AIADMK has already began casual talks with CPI, which is now a part of PWF, whereas M T Vasan’s Tamil Manila Congress (TMC) hopes that they’ll get a good deal in the event that they go together with AIADMK. A party supply in TMC, which is but to contest any election, stated they need to be getting minimal 20 seats from AIADMK, out of a complete of 234. AIADMK sources keep that if there’s an alliance, nonetheless the party will contest in minimal 200 seats whereas sharing the remaining with smaller events together with actor Sarathkumar’s party claiming OBC-Nadar votes base from south and Muslim political party, MMK.
