"People's mood is against DMK alliance": BJP candidate from Madurai South constituency Rama Srinivasan

BJP candidate Rama Srinivasan claims anti-DMK mood in Tamil Nadu, exuding confidence in winning Madurai South constituency in upcoming Assembly polls.

"People's mood is against the DMK alliance. - Rama Srinivasan"

Madurai, April 11

BJP's candidate from Madurai South constituency Rama Srinivasan, on Saturday, stressed that neither the people of Tamil Nadu nor the Madurai South constituency are in support of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam party in the upcoming Assembly elections.

Speaking to ANI, Srinivasan exuded confidence in the victory of the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP), underlining that the party's performance in previous elections will pose as an advantage this time.

He noted that the BJP has emerged as a Pan-Tamil Nadu party as the party is contesting from nearly all the regions this time.

"The campaign is going on very well. Our cadres are very enthusiastic. They have been working night and day. All our leaders are very keen to see that the South constituency is won by the BJP. Now, Tamil Nadu BJP is a Pan-Tamil Nadu party; we are contesting in almost all regions of Tamil Nadu we are contesting. In the last Parliamentary elections, we contested here and secured second position. So, this time we have an advantage. The same candidate is coming to this constituency, and my face is familiar to the people of this constituency. So, we are sure that we will win this constituency," he said.

Speaking on DMK, he said, "Anti-incumbency will help us. People's mood is against the DMK alliance. In Madurai South, the constituency narrative is also against the DMK alliance."

Tamil Nadu Assembly elections will go to the polls in a single phase on April 23, with counting scheduled for May 4.

The main contest is expected between the DMK-led Secular Progressive Alliance (SPA), which includes the Indian National Congress, DMDK and VCK, and the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), led by AIADMK with BJP and PMK as allies. Actor-turned-politician Vijay is also set to make his electoral debut with TVK, which could turn the contest into a three-way fight.

As a Tamilian, I appreciate that national parties are contesting more seats. It gives us more choices beyond the usual DMK vs AIADMK fight. But the candidate's confidence seems a bit too high? 🤔 The entry of Vijay's party makes everything unpredictable!

Anti-incumbency is real. People are tired of the same old promises. Maybe a new face from BJP can bring some change. At least they are talking about development openly.

Respectfully, I disagree with the candidate's assessment. The mood in my area of Madurai is not "against DMK alliance" as he claims. Local issues like water and jobs matter more than national party narratives. This feels like typical election overconfidence.

Good to see BJP putting up a fight in the south! Tamil Nadu needs a strong alternative. The alliance with AIADMK might work in their favour this time. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

All parties say the same thing before elections 😅. "People's mood is with us", "cadres are enthusiastic". The real test is on April 23rd. As a voter, I just want someone who will fix our roads and bring more industries to Madurai.
