KG Arunraj, the general secretary for policy and propaganda of the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), stated that minority voters in Tamil Nadu are increasingly viewing TVK as a genuine ally, moving away from their traditional support for the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK). He noted that minorities often feel insecure and have relied on DMK in the past. However, Arunraj believes that the DMK's indirect alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has led to a loss of trust. He argued that the DMK is unable to take a firm stand against the Union government due to this compromise. Additionally, Arunraj highlighted the contrasting political dynamics in West Bengal, where key officers were transferred following the announcement of assembly elections, unlike in Tamil Nadu, where such actions only occurred after pressure from opposition leaders. This situation reflects the challenges that the DMK faces in maintaining its credibility among minority communities.
