M.A. Baby, the general secretary of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), expressed serious concerns about the potential division of Tamil Nadu under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Speaking at a campaign event for DMK candidate Dha. Velu in Mylapore, Baby likened the situation to the division of Jammu and Kashmir into Union Territories, warning that the current government could similarly undermine the state's integrity. He criticized the Modi administration for subverting constitutional arrangements and accused it of being influenced by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), which he described as fascist. Baby stressed the critical importance of the upcoming elections, urging voters to support the DMK-led secular democratic alliance, led by Muthuvel Karunanidhi Stalin, to protect both Tamil Nadu and India from authoritarianism.
