Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], March 25 (ANI): Ahead of the Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) spokesperson TKS Elangovan expressed confidence in the party's performance, claiming that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) alliance has failed to achieve anything for the southern state.
Speaking to ANI, Elangovann remarked that DMK would win as the electoral are aware that no schemes are coming due to the Bharatiya Janata Party.
'We will win because of our performance. We rely on our performance. The NDA alliance have not done anything for the state. So, the people of Tamil Nadu know that no schemes are coming to Tamil Nadu because of the BJP', said Elangovan.
His remarks come ahead of Tamil Nadu Assembly polls, which are scheduled for April 23 in a single phase, with counting scheduled for May 4.
Under the NDA seat-sharing agreement, the alliance led by the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam will contest over 170 seats. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has been allotted 27 seats, followed by the Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) with 18 seats, and the Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (AMMK) with 11 seats.
DMDK is set to contest 10 Assembly constituencies across Tamil Nadu. The announcement came after a meeting held between DMK President and Chief Minister MK Stalin and DMDK General Secretary Premalatha Vijayakanth. The Congress will contest 28 seats as part of the DMK-led front. Also, CPI(M), a constituent of the DMK-led Secular Progressive Alliance, will contest in five seats.
The main electoral contest is expected between the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK)-led Secular Progressive Alliance (SPA), which also includes Congress, DMDK, and the VCK, and the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), led by AIADMK with the BJP and Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) as allies. Actor-turned-politician Vijay is set to make his electoral debut with TVK, attempting to turn the upcoming elections into a three-way contest. (ANI)
