Mrs Premalatha Vijaykanth is likely to call for a  party meet to discuss options, as AIADMK has backtracked from their promise. Its Understable that trust and confidence play a major role in an alliance, and to fail to honour the promise amounts to perfidy. What we are understanding from our trustable sources is that DMDK is upset with AIADMK on failing to give a ticket in Rajya Sabha to them,  and not willing to wait till the next term. Mr Sudeesh propelled Mrs Vijayakanth to take a concurrence from their partymen with regards to continuing the alliance with AIADMK,  and look for options. Inspite of their vote share , DMDK is considered so important for AIADMK , as they are looked as a secular party which can lure the votes of Dalits and minorities,  whilst their image of AIADMK is slightly dented after forging alliance with BJP.  - Sundaresan T

"He understands the fulcrum of the issue from minorities and dalits standpoint, and sure to take a fair call", says Menaka, a first time voter in Royapuram constituency.  Looks like Our Vinveli Nayagan has done the sanity check with regards to the merits and demerits of the AIADMK-BJP alliance, and likely to present the data with Mr Eps. And he has ofcourse certainly understood the ground reality, and also the importance of winning the 2026 election. What we are also understanding is that he is likely to meet the party chief to brief him of the outmoded opinions of his 1st time constituency voters. Furthermore, He is also tabling a discussion with the thinktakers,  to dive deep and come to a conclusion on the outcome. Nevertheless,  it is almost confirmed that Mr D Jayakumar is changing the face of the election, with his timely inputs and readiness to jump into fray , much ahead of other politicians.  - Sundaresan T

AIADMK is in further trouble and it seems like their fate is almost sealed , with DMDK is likely to pull out of the alliance, as the promise for a rajya sabha ticket has not been honoured. And what is even more worrying the opposition AIADMK is the friction in PMK. In addition, We are all well aware of the fact there is a disconnect in the AIADMK-BJP alliance. The party which was almost catching up DMK in the election race is pushed a step back due to their impetuous decision to annouce the alliance with BJP, and disappointing DMDK at the last minute. Wonder how Mr Eps is going to pull it off , amid all these challenges.  It is also being reported there were displeasure raised by a section of leaders during the recent meeting, over the AIADMK-BJP alliance,  and looks like Mr Eps has given assurance to protect the interest of party's ideologies,  and taking a call if things remain same even after couple of months. So far, it has been an one sided contest, with DMK is mostl...

Quite abashed to see the outcome of a progressive state election is determined by the movie stars, who carries half our knowledge and IQ. Wonder what's the sacrifice and involvement of them in their lifetime to display such an irreproachable conduct. Not sure if they even think beyond camera, and dialogues,  and to see them as an influencer to the educated youth is dishearting.  If only acting in films , make you a leader, there are incredible actors, who lived an unembellished  life. So unfortunate that the second most literate state is being influenced by medicre actors, and film makers. Looking forward to the outcome of the election.  - Sundaresan Thankappan   

Despite of the fact that AIADMK has strong control over Royapuram and Virugambakkam constituencies, because of the alliance with BJP, AIADMK workers are quite restless, and throwing tantrum at the leadership, and agitating to not cooperate with them. As per the reports,  they are quite unhappy with the alliance announcement overnight without tabling a discussion, and started to question the leadership that how can we go back to the same people whom we asked to vote out BJP, to voteback them. In fact ,  Mr Virugai Ravi has already informed that he is being questioned black and blue by the constituency people over the alliance, and there was a less turnout for the Eps birthday function. They are ascertain that AIADMK would not do against the interest of party cadres, and likely to reconsider their decision. - Sundaresan T

Its is quite palpable that there is a disconnect among both BJP and AIADMK ground workers , and cadres, for they consider it as an unnatural alliance. And differences are already raised in Royapuram constituency to our messaiah, and he seemed to have informed that he would throw his weight and neutralize its impact. However,  party workers are  seen agitating and rraising concerns and disappointment. In fact. They personally informed Mr  D Jayakumar, that the People are quite rattling, and unyielding to the request. We are hearing same is the situation in Kongu and Madurai, as both the stalwarts Mr SP Velumani and Sellur Raju are jolted with Mr Vijay flexing his muscle. By the by, food for your thoughts that Mr Vijay is eating the votes of AIADMK, and likely to emerge as a replacement to AIADMK.  - Sundaresan T

MGR ensured that the party continued to survive and fight for the needys and destitutes in spite of his ill health, so was Ms Jayalalitha.  Even during her time in hospital ensured that the fair governance had been delivered. Such was the commitment, and unconditional love they showed on us. In fact, i remember reading somewhere that when MGR had just returned to India after Kidney transplantion, on the very day he attended a government function. The great man even on the day he died,  had a function planned and invites were shared. They were so committed to the public services,  and never looked after their own health and prosperity.  That's how the party took a surge during the hey days of Mr Karunanidhi and DMK. And it is quite unfortunate to the very same party being ridiculed, mocked and challenged by a matinee idol who launched his party just a year back. "Thalaivan irukiran" smiles royally,  an old party man in his 80's" - Sundaresan T

Subsequent to the political somersaults of AIADMK  and BJP, in spite of indifferences , and bitter past,  it is quite evident that DMK is winning the election 2026. What had merely seen as a probability, becomes a certainity today, and the camp of DMK is quite jubilant to be likely receiving a thumping majority. When we probed to find out , what was it played a major role  and brought DMK back on a pedestal, we have observed few of the salient reasons.  More than AIADMK, People of the state are seeing DMK as the most reliable. And when further investigate we are hearing that if AIADMK were in power with BJP by their side, we are sure Eps could've not given free hand to run the government,  we were most likely to witness the incidents of Tuticorin shoot out. And he was certain to accept all the unpopular center schemes from Hindi imposition to ONOE, Delimitation and NEET. And the verdict of AU incident has gained good reputation for the DMK. The cadres and partym...

It is quite disturbing to see the Toppers are so obsessed with film personalities,  and getting influenced by them. Because Mr Vijay and Kamal Hassan failed to excel in academics, they chose the most convenient, if notlackadaisical job of acting. Not sure if they spend quality time on the happenings around the world , in between their acting schedules.  They seem so filmy to us, and not being real with their punch lines, and camera obsession. God, you must have seen the reaction of Mr Hassan when he was asked on his change of stand from being an alternative to an opportunitic,  he initially avoids and responds in a comical way, "Its for India". No relevance in their speeches, moves, and ideologies, and I wonder if the movies are going to influence the next generation voters, considering the way the students posed for a photo with Mr Vijay, reciting his movie dialogues, idolizing a movie star and taking advice from him, inspite of scoring better marks than them. - Sundares...

How AIADMK has given up on it's self-respect, pride,  legacy, and political space in Tamilnadu? And that's the question we put across to the people of Virugambakkam constituency , and people's opinion and observations have quaked us. First and foremost,  they dont have any hatred towards Mr Eps, and it is only disappointment, for the way the AIADMK-BJP alliance is announced. On anonymity , An AIADMK sympathier expresses his dismay that "we are quite upset sir, and disoriented as to where the party heading to". He further adds "When we all thought that AIADMK was going to bounce back in the 2026 election, we were staggered and perplexed, with their decision ". "Even now , we are left with a slim hope,  that some miracle would happen and see TVK joining AIADMK".  Swears that even a section of sr party leaders must have been disappointed,  and thats the reason why they are avoiding the press and media. - Sundaresan T

Its most confirmed that AIADMK is not going to give a Rajya sabha seat to DMDK, and Mrs Premalatha Vijaykanth is likely to go with DMK. After all, Its known that DMK is winning the 2026 election, and what's the reason for DMDK to tie with AIADMK.  As per the reports,  DMDK is already showing interest to join DMK alliance, and talks are on between leadership of both the parties. And looking at the ground reality, PMK is limping,  and DMDK is most likely to go with DMK,  AIADMK left with BJP contesting the 2026 poll, alone. - Sundaresan Thankappan

Team, Mr Eps is bringing the party down, and they are unlikely to win the election.  And to tag their outcome to an youtuber who is half my IQ, and a maniac, goes to show , how they are failing to spot the right talent. If Jaya was alive  , she would have called and recognized my talent. But its an uneducated, rustic, rural leader who is calling the shots.. But I will ensure that Dravidian politics never die in the head of southern India.  Can DJ encourage talents like Amma , and discourage Chamchas! We are the real journalists, not a silly youtuber, - Sundaresan Thankappan 

Mr Muthuvel Karunanidhi Stalin is breaking all records, set by his predecessor,  and winning the 2026 election , hands down, and it is being echoed across the state of Tamilnadu.  And we are going to examine the good work of Mr Stalin, in the interest of bridging gaps. MK Stalin, according to many,  only the son of Late Mr Karunanidhi,  but the leadership qualities in him is praiseworthy. He must have been the only CM , after Jayalalitha to have preserved both Nationalism, and federalism.  And when he was accused of being against Nationalism,  he took a march in support of soliders and army man to salute the victory of Sintoor operation.  He has been steadfast in raising his voice against the step-motherly treatment of the centre government , and we are covering all his achievements in the last 4 years , starting from tomorrow.  - Sundaresan Thankappan 

  MGR is not just a name, its an emotion in Tamilnadu. When our grant parents are not remembered after 20 years of passing away, he is still relevance after 35 years. Not much educated, merely an actor, not a literate, nor speak Tamil as fluent as Mr Karunanidhi,  but transparent, charismatic, and humble. Lets reminiscence some of the magical moments of Mr MGR in Tamilnadu politics.   Sharp nose, Fair complexion, and curly hair were his physical appearance. And inside him is a conviction, never dieing attitude,  hunger, resolute and fighting nature. We are covering the unique traits of Late Mr MGR in the upcoming blogs, documented by his relatives and well-wishers.  - Sundaresan Thankappan 

  Mr Vijay is most likely to inherit the votes of AIADMK loyalist,  for he has projected himself as an anti-dmk. It is in serious tone that we declare "AIADMK has lost its credibility and reputation as a party", and They are unlikely to make inroads and achieve anything in this election. What we are getting to see is that DMK is retaing power, and Mr Vijay is most likely to push AIADMK back. And the entire state is being charmed by the mesmerizing personality and his humble nature. What the youtubers wiring news against Mr Stalin is that failing to understand Its Mr Vijay who is going to harvest all the anti-dmk votes, and not the old Eps. Maintain distance, stay inside.. - Sundaresan T

   There ain't no grave can hold my body down , sings Johnny cash, and it struck me so hard now and I start to wonder if it was written after  Late Mr MGR. He ain't gone yet, still playing politics in Tamilnadu, looking at the way his name is riveberating across the pillars of political offices. But sure he would've felt bad looking at the state of the party which he floated. More than him, Jayalalitha's anger would have been multifold. Guess the party is in the transformation stage, and thats why they are so much of fuss around it.  Jaya wanted AIADMK to be alive for 100 years after her demise, and if it was high expectation, atleast 50 years, if not 25.. - Sundaresan T

  Will Mr Eps reconsider his decision and pull out of BJP alliance, in the interest of protecting the legacy of MGR and Jayalalitha,  retaining its votebank and his own reputation? AIADMK is a secular party, and MGR and Jayalalitha were loved and celebrated by Muslims and Christian friends, for their unconditional love towards them. And even when Jayalalitha remained in the alliance of BJP, she never allowed any biased, casted based and langugage based policies into Tamilnadu, and even MGR for that matter, they maintained a balance between nationalism and federalism. Particulary, Ms Jayalalitha never let the center government to dictate terms, and made even the gentle vajpayee to run for his life. Such a mighty AIADMK surrendering to a party which is registering below the NOTA is so painful.  But we still have 10 months to go. And as the great says Miracle does happen... - Sundaresan T

  Mr Vijay is likely to break the jinx and come to the ground , starting from the month of June. And he has zeroed in Madurai as his battle ground. We are getting to hear from our sources that Mr Vijay is all charged up, as the movie Jananayagan is nearing completion. Since he has categorically declined of an alliance with AIADMK,  he is formulating a poll statergy along with his sr partymen,  and also parallel vetting through the contestant applications. And going by the ground reports it iss most likely that the contest would be between DMK and TVK , and he is showing his readiness to take on the giant, by jumping into the candidate selection already,  much ahead of other parties. - Sundaresan T

Remember vividly , The historian Ramachandra Guha, belongs to the very same state,  admitted in a Program called devils advocate that the language kannada born from Tamil. He quotes, "The period dates back to 3rd century BCE to 8th century CE and inscriptions are available". Of all the 4 southern languages,  Tamil is the oldest and ancient language, and there are so many ascriptions very much available on internet to prove the theory right. It is so unfortunate that a language is being used for a politicial mileage,  and to lure voters. Failing to admit the fact is culpable, amounts to parochial , and naive.  Malayali never has any problem , admitting it, and see it as a inferior. In fact , Kesavan Veluthat has done so many research in line to it and documented the fact how Tamil being prehistoric,  and evolved all through the years. Quite appalled to see still people are seeing it from the political angle, and making stupid stunts.  #Grow up amigos  -...

How can a party cheif in his 80's be so immatured and discuss internal matters in public? The octogenarian politician is known for making controversial remarks , and using foul languages in politics. But never expected him to go so low,  and exposing his own son's weakness. He is calling Anbumani to have brought the party matters to public eye, he is more or less doing the same. As a party chief, during testing times,  he is supposed to defend and protect it, he is rather making statements which are no way relevant to contemporary politics, and bringing his party , if not his own reputation down. I guess PMK will be left with no takers if they continue to play old school politics.. - Sundaresan T

Not able to access him as before, might be because of the fact that i am writing against his party. But thats ok, i am only reflecting the ground reality, which can hurt either sides. I suggest better he would demand a Rajya sabha seat, because going by the ground reports, AIADMK is going to face the worst defeat ever in their political history.  And guess what , he knew that right from the day the alliance is announced, and he is simply putting a brave face infront of the camera. All the impish apart, he is a great leader, gentleman, generous, and nice soul who  ensured of his constituency people well-being.  But it is quite unfortunate that the decision to join BJP has come as a thunderstrike to him. You always have a special place in my heart, even if you distance from me, because of political reasons.  - Sundaresan Thankappan

What a prolific writer and fantastic screenplay writer was Mr Padmarajan. Still at awe and astonishment of his works. It is quite sad that we are failing to recognize the talents of great creators lived in our country. From Peruvazhiambalam to Njan Gandharvan,  are a reflection of society and its evolution. And it all started with Thoovanathumbikal as an adolescent, which made me so engrossed to the love and rain,  it further advanced me to Kallan Pavithran , which talks about an improvised , wants to make it big by any means. The diversity of stories made him stand out from other directors of Kerala industry. I only afraid Just like Mitamoto Musashi , Hannibal Barca, and Genkis Khan we would soon forget those who delivered excellence in their field. Only when you are so rooted to your society, you can tell all such stories. And as a malayali born in Tamilnadu,  only wonder if by any means , the Talents of kerala too be recognized.  - Sundaresan T

Sun is nothing but an ally a G-type main-sequence star - It is seen as sun from the earth. He is setting the benchmark for a leadership so high, and i afraid it is quite hard for Eps and Vijay to catch up. In this blog, we are going to document how Mr Stalin stands out from all the other leaders of Tamilnadu.  Trust and confidence are the most important attributes for a leader, and Mr Stalin nurtured these two traits from his young age. I wanted to recall my conversation that I had with Late Mr P Vetrival, regarding his work experience when Mr Stalin was the Mayor of Chennai. "He was a workaholic, easily accessible and  whenever I brought the issues of downtrodden and destitutes to his knowledge,  he quickly addressed it, and makes a follow up with me to ensure that it had been taken care, and if i was satisfied with the outcome". And inspite of ideological differences , he had high regards for him. I could also recall how Cho spotted his talent as a good administrator....

The verdict in AU issue is quite reassuring and restored our faith on Law and order and Judicial system in India. Of course, it has given a political mileage to the DMK government.  What is so impressive is that DMK took it very seriously , and ensured justice is delivered in a short time frame.  Just like anyone I too shocked and bellowed at the incident, but was ver much confident on the government and our lawmakers. In spite of the opposition tried to politicizing the incident , with their rational and cogent understanding of the severity of the issue, Government fought for the justice of the victim and made sure that the perpetrator is brought to book. Both the government and Judicial system work is commendable , and it has given a heavy blow to all the parties, who tried to take mileage over it. - Sundaresan T  

  He talks back and forth, and not a great diplomat,  failing to face Mr Trump.  And all his statements are mixed with inefficiency and stupidy... He has categorically proven He is less competent to fight and mediate the mighty USA.. Will pinpoint , each of his failure as a diplomat, right from the word go.. Infact , inspite of free hand, he must have been the only diplomate to take commands from Mr Modi. And guys we are all done with these extremist! - Sundaresan T

"Fire had already been doused, and there were no victims and TVK merely played politics by encroaching curfew, and making political stunts",  says a policeman. The women functionaries of TVK were being obstructed, and hit, when they were at the ground to distribute relief materials to the fire Victims in Vyasarpadi, and thats the statement, and it was not true.. And these were all serious charges, as they were not in power, and only in the interest of lending the helping hands , claims a functionry of TVK. But we would want to understand from the Police standpoint, before commenting anything. More often than not, Even criminals accuse Police, so we want to ensure that who was at wrong before commenting and what made them to take such stand, we would not publish anything. After all, we follow factuals, reports and evidence and not emotional claims. Mr Vijay is deliberately disreputing Mr Stalin and DMK government to increase his star value. And as per the reports, FIR are file...

  We are likely to settle the dues with interest for Mr Hassan for the last 60 plus years of hard work and excellence in the field of filmmaking- He is up to set the record as the first actor , entering the 1000 cr club, and the MP in the making. Mr Dev Anand envied his personality, MF Hussain expressed Kamal excited him through his performance on wide screen, Arnab Goswami enthralled to his voice, whilst all the layman's are starstruck to his creativity. Still in awe of his performance as Michael,  Madhan, Kam & Rajan. What an exciting actor he has been, entertaing all of us. I guess in search of gold we were about to lose the diamond.  When keralites bump into a tamilian, all they say is we are a fan of Mr Hassan, such is the love and respect he enjoys in the God's own country. He must have been the only actor from south who is loved by both Comrades of Communist and Friends of Congress . In fact , they used to crack a joke that he alone could enjoy a breakfast at O...

In the name of survey, some of the youtubers are trying to wire the inconceivable deets.  More than corruption, it is the double stand that the people of our state hates the most.   It is onerous to understand how come someone without being steadfast in his own conviction, and lost continuously in elections, could possibly make a come back  and grab the power, and that too having a party like BJP by his side.  Atleast there should be a minimum study and due diligence expected out of the analysis,  in spite , majority among 3000 people are vouching their support for AIADMK.  As per the reports, and reality, it is DMK sweeping the election 2026 with a wide margin. - Sundaresan T

  As the election gets nearer and nearer, the bewilderment on the alliance finalization is giving an uncertainty, and remains a  predicament for the opposition parties.  Of course , the wishful alliance for many would've been between AIADMK-TVK, and the sudden rush in announcing alliance by the BJP has played a spoilsport.  However,  some of the experts still believe, anything is possible in politics, Eps can pull out of the NDA alliance , citing indifferences even at the last minute. They are quite right to an extent,  because there is a sense of uneasiness felt in the AIADMK camp, whenever BJP conducts any seminar in favour of Delimitation,  Language imposition, Waqf, and ONOE. And many are of the opinion that Eps had deliberately skipped the seminar on ONOE yesterday, due to which BJP reached out to Pawan Kalyan and brought him in. - Sundaresan T

There have been a swirling fog of unanswered questions , with regards to wound up on a straight beeline and announcement of the alliance by the BJP. As far as anyone's imaginations,  the alliance are finalized, post taking consensus from the partymen, and in consultation with the senior leaders. But no one has come out, except for few, to defend the alliance or conforming it was done after serious deliberation from the AIADMK side.  It looks like they are taking time, so the press and people would settle down , and the frustration and restlessness mounting among their sympathiers would die out. Since it is considered as the second largest party of the state, some of them are still not able to come to terms and unwilling to move on, and hoping there will be a reconsideration on the decision taken. - Sundaresan T

Mr Vijay remains an under dog in the 2026 election, but he is certainly going to throw surprises to many of us. What we are witnessing is a sudden turn of events, which has brought Mr Vijay, back in the race. And he has already confirmed his presence this month end to felicitate the toppers in the exams,  whilst his chief secretary,  is drafting a campaign plan already. Rumor has it that he is planning for a similar massive meeting like the one which he had in the beginning of his political career on his birthday,  which is falling on 22nd of June. And he seems to have brought blood back to the veins of TVK, and of course TVK cadres are on cloud nine already, roaring to get, set and go.. - Sundaresan T

The great Mahatma had only one final wish, which was to preserve the social harmony and maintain peace between Hindu and Musilm. Of course,  Congress ensured of it till the end of their rule , but the successor of the congress has literally given up on both maintaing the social harmony, and also on the principles of Gandhi. According to many,  they are not sincere to the Hindu's and Hinduisum as well, for it is merely used for a political mileage, and spreading hatred among communities that follows different faith for their political advantages. It has been more than a decade , since the Modi Sarkar took over the reins from Congress,  and not once he has come out condemning the atrocities created against dalits and musalmaan's. And the unfair represention for the muslim community in upper house goes to only show his wilful,  if not obstinate nature. He chooses to remain a product of RSS inspite of taking oath under the indian constitution shaped by the Late Dr Ambeka...

"Many of us were in disbelief, when we heared the announcement of the AIADMK-BJP alliance. It never tabled for a discussion,  and nobody in our camp wanted to revive the ties with BJP, after an heated argument over the insubordinate remarks on the late leaders of AIADMK by the then cheif Mr Annamalai", says Mr Iyyappan residing in Kannagi Nagar. "It would've been so great, had Eps joined hands with Mr Vijay and faced the election" , says in a wistful tone. He further adds, even Eps didn't look cheerful, as Amit Shah announced the alliance well ahead of the election. He was slightly gloomy, because he must've known that he had to pay a heavy price for it. As all are aware,  not once AIADMK has lost the election consecutively, and i afraid that they might do so, fearing which we are reciting prayers to pull out from the NDA alliance nd hold a discussion with the like-minded parties. We are not sure if we would get a second chance, but we respect our leader...

It is very clear that Mr Vijay is seen as the second biggest force in the race to the 2026 election. And there is a pendulum shift with regards to the perception and political image among the masses . Even the social media and youtubers have started to take him as a very serious contender , ever since the announcement of the BJP and AIADMK alliance. The majority of people are of the opinion that if Mr Vijay contests the election alone without smearing with saffron , he is likely to push the BJP-AIADMK to the 3rd spot. And it is quite unlikely that he would join the alliance, so it is imminent,  that he would realise the dream as a game changer in the tamilnadu politics. - Sundaresan T

AIADMK is merely seen as one more party in the election race,  eyeing to capture power in 2026. Not long time ago, their own ministers openly resisted the ONOE, Waqf, 3 language policies and other subsequent recommendations of BJP , claiming it would affect the federalism.  And only wonder what is their stand now on all these matters. In fact, one of its minister said we would not do the mistake of joining the BJP alliance again , for their image had been dented because of the move.  It is very much true that AIADMK and BJP can't get along, because there are difference of opinions within. AIADMK stand is different from BJP on NEET, Language imposition, ONOE, Waqf, Cauvery dispute and so on. Categorically speaking , it is because of the fact that they were left with no other option , they were compelled to take the unwelcome decision. In addition to the above, we are getting to understand that AIADMK is deliberately avoiding to sharing stage with BJP on some of the seminar...
