M. Veerapandian, the Tamil Nadu secretary of the Communist Party of India (CPI), has expressed confidence in the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) party's prospects for a substantial victory in the upcoming elections. He believes that the support garnered by actor C. Joseph Vijay's party, the Tamil Nadu Thowheed Jamath (TVK), will ultimately benefit the DMK-led alliance. Veerapandian argues that while Vijay can attract crowds, he lacks the organizational capacity to translate that popularity into votes. This perspective counters the narrative of a tightly contested election, as Veerapandian has been engaging in smaller meetings across the state to connect with voters directly. His insights reflect a strategic approach to the electoral landscape in Tamil Nadu, emphasizing the importance of grassroots engagement over large-scale rallies.
