Tamil Nadu Polls: Alliances Set, Seat-Sharing Finalized, But Unfamiliar Script Looms?
•Tamil Nadu's political landscape traditionally dominated by DMK and AIADMK, with DMK aiming for a second term and AIADMK facing a potential second setback.
•DMK's strong alliance, including Congress, VCK, and communist parties, is solidified, with the inclusion of DMDK (10 seats) raising questions.
•DMK positions itself as a bulwark against BJP, using the slogan "NDA vs Tamil Nadu"; expected to contest 169-170 seats.
•AIADMK, part of NDA, has allotted 65 seats to partners like BJP, PMK, AMMK, TMC, and IJK, campaigning with "Makkalai Kaapom, Thamizhagathi Meetpom" (Save the People, Redeem Tamil Nadu).
•Outliers like Naam Tamilar Katchi and actor Vijay's potential influence could introduce an unfamiliar script, potentially splitting anti-DMK votes and impacting NDA's prospects.
