Tamil Nadu stands witness to the winds of change. As the 2019 general elections get closer, Tamil Nadu’s own political makeup has changed drastically.
On this episode of The Big Story podcast, we’ll dive into Tamil Nadu’s politics and guide you safely through the murky, often CONFUSING, waters of Tamil Nadu’s politics.
In one corner, the AIADMK, Tamil Nadu’s ruling party, has joined hands with the BJP.
In the other corner, the DMK has formed an alliance with eight parties including the Congress. The DMK has agreed to contest from 20 seats and give Congress 10 seats.
With Tamil Nadu’s two political powerhouses – former DMK chief Karunanidhi and former AIADMK supremo Jayalalithaa, now out of the picture, Tamil Nadu will see an election like no other in the past five decades – one that may easily become a free for all, fuelled by social media and fought on the pillars of nostalgia for its past leaders.
