What A Twist: NDA Going After DMK Now?

There is a famous saying in politics, which goes like “There are no permanent enemies or friends in politics.” This is perfectly applicable in the case of Tamil Nadu politics as something extraordinary appears to be happening now.

According to the latest reports from national media channels, the NDA alliance at the Centre is looking to gather the support of the DMK party in Tamil Nadu.

Historically, the DMK party has been with Congress for many decades and was a crucial part of the alliance down South. However, there was a complete fallout between DMK and Congress in the recent election and Congress ended up supporting TVK to form the government recently.

There are reports that DMK leadership and Stalin extremely disappointed with Congress and are waiting for right time to seek vengeance. This is precisely where the NDA is scooping into action.

It is reported that the NDA is looking to extend a helping hand to the DMK and gain their support and issue based topics in the parliament. This is primarily due to the fact that DMK has significant representation of 22 MPs in the Parliament and 8 Rajya Sabha members.

Despite the defeat in the recent Tamil Nadu assembly election, it needs to be noted that DMK is one of the biggest political parties in India in terms of representatives in the Parliament. So it is natural for the NDA to look for the support of DMK now that they have broken apart from Congress.

However, Stalin had publicly spoken against NDA and it would take a lot of convincing from the saffron party BJP to convince him to associate with them even on specific matters in the parliament.
