Tamil Nadu Election: DMK, AIADMK Alliances Set for Three-Cornered Contest
•Tamil Nadu's upcoming assembly election on April 23 will feature a three-cornered contest, moving away from its traditional bipolar nature.
•The ruling DMK, led by CM MK Stalin, has finalized its Secular Progressive Alliance (SPA) seat-sharing, contesting 164 seats and supporting allies in 11 others under its 'rising sun' symbol.
•The AIADMK-led NDA, with general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami, will contest 169 seats, focusing on criticizing the DMK's administrative failures; BJP will contest 27 seats.
•Actor-turned-politician Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) makes its electoral debut, aiming to disrupt the established order and offer a third alternative.
