Modi Wave Couldn’t Stir Tamil Nadu Politics

Narendra Modi has been picked by the BJP-drove NDA for a second term as Prime Minister. Be that as it may, his party has indeed flopped in Tamil Nadu.

AIADMK supremo Jayalalithaa had stolen his roar in front of the 2014 Lok Sabha elections with her trademark 'Woman or Modi', encouraging individuals in T.N. to pick the 'woman' (alluding to herself). She proceeded to win 37 seats. Of the two residual seats, the BJP, driving a third front, oversaw one, and its partner, the PMK, took the other.

In 2019, the mortification is more prominent. The BJP has experienced a mental blackout. Its partner, the decision AIADMK, has figured out how to win only one seat of the 38 Lok Sabha seats.

After Jayalalithaa's passing, Mr. Modi encouraged a merger of fighting groups of the AIADMK, to be driven together by Edappadi K. Palaniswami and O. Panneerselvam. The pair at that point continued to join together a super coalition, restricting in the PMK and DMDK into the crease.

However, the NDA endured a stunning annihilation in T.N., with voters seeing it as a deft coalition. The triumph edges of the DMK and its partners — Congress, CPI, CPI(M) and IUML - have been uncommon. BJP leaders have looked for shelter in reasons, notwithstanding guaranteeing that the restriction figured out how to effectively paint a negative picture of the BJP.

What they didn't represent was the profound situated displeasure among individuals of the State, who trust they were denied their rights on numerous events. Occasions, for example, the 100-day against Sterlite dissent that prompted police shooting down individuals, challenges for Cauvery Management Board, the Mekedatu dam issue and the Central and State governments' poor reaction to twisters that assaulted the State demonstrated that the voters were disturbed.

By the day's end, obviously, Dravidianism has figured out how to stand its ground.
