Palaniswami Leads AIADMK's Fierce Campaign to Reclaim Tamil Nadu Amidst Tough Fight
•AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami launched "Makkalaikappom Tamilagathai Meetpom" campaign to regain power after five years in opposition.
•Palaniswami has emerged as the undisputed leader, leveraging MGR and Amma's legacy, strong organizational structure, and poll promises like Rs 10,000 aid.
•The party's alliance with BJP, PMK, and AMMK strengthens its vote base, particularly in northern, central, and southern Tamil Nadu.
•Key challenges include former ally O Panneerselvam joining DMK, DMDK's exit, and actor Vijay's entry potentially splitting anti-incumbency votes.
•Opportunities lie in targeting DMK on anti-incumbency, Palaniswami's anti-CAA stance, and strong campaigning by PM Modi and Amit Shah.
