BJP Eyes Tamil Nadu: 5 Reasons Fueling Confidence for Assembly Polls
- •BJP's recent success in Kerala, particularly Thiruvananthapuram, has boosted morale and shattered the 'south of Vindhyas' myth, impacting border districts like Kanyakumari.
- •K. Annamalai's 'En Mann, En Makkal' yatra and 'DMK Files' corruption allegations have positioned BJP as a strong alternative, energizing youth and cadres.
- •BJP is strengthening its presence in urban and semi-urban areas like Coimbatore, Madurai, and Chennai, targeting middle-class and Hindi-speaking voters.
- •Amit Shah aims to unite AIADMK factions (TTV Dhinakaran, O. Panneerselvam) with E. Palaniswami's group to form an impregnable NDA and dent DMK's vote bank.
- •The party is micro-managing 120 specific seats, focusing on winnable constituencies and leveraging 'cultural nationalism' in regions like Rameswaram.
Why It Matters: BJP is strategically confident in Tamil Nadu, leveraging Kerala success, Annamalai's popularity, urban focus, AIADMK unity, and micro-management.
