A lone voice of concern against the BJP’s growing influence in Tamil Nadu at the expense of its larger ally AIADMK emanates from the Dravidian party, a silent rumblings within the party ever since the political narrative shifted to DMK versus DMK. BJP’s tussle in recent months
Former AIADMK minister and long-time AIADMK minister V Ponnaiyan, at a party function in which leaders like B Thambidurai and other party cadres were present, pointed to the development of the BJP in Tamil Nadu and how it was adopting a bisexual attitude in the states. Used to be. As Karnataka and Tamil Nadu on the Cauvery water issue.
Ponnaiyan also spoke about the need to sensitize the AIADMK’s IT wing to the political reality in Tamil Nadu and “expose” the BJP.
Ponnaiyan’s move comes at a time when the top AIADMK leader is adopting a touch-and-go approach on several issues at the heart of state politics. For example, state BJP president K Annamalai took out a rally to stage a sit-in at the state secretariat to urge the government to cut fuel prices.
AIADMK leaders Edappadi K Palaniswami and O Panneerselvam have been issuing statements regularly on issues like the alleged deterioration in law and order in the state and other social issues.
However, the state unit of the BJP has been strongly criticizing the DMK government. In the past month, the DMK versus BJP polarization was quite evident on a range of issues, including the palanquin procession at Dharmapuram Adhinam and the beef biryani festival in Ambur, which was somewhat different from the pure Dravidian fight witnessed in the last five decades in Tamil Nadu. ,
K Annamalai – the first person to rise to the post within a year of joining the party – has taken a stand-off position in front of the ruling DMK. Amidst reports that he has a distinctive brazen leadership style that has insulted some seniors and old-timers, Annamalai has managed to draw the party towards the central political narrative in Tamil Nadu. Partly, the AIADMK’s political presence has weakened significantly since it lost the May 2021 assembly elections.
Appearing in assembly sessions and speaking on important issues, the Palaniswami-Paneerselvam combination did not anticipate an active opposition party against the DMK, giving Annamalai’s BJP a foothold in politics.
In the coming months, what remains to be seen is whether the AIADMK’s moves to keep itself relevant in the current political system is moving towards a DMK-BJP bipolarity in one of the few states with purely regional political competition. .
