'Strategic talks, not seat sharing': TTV Dinakaran confident NDA will oust DMK in Tamil Nadu polls after meeting Union Minister Amit Shah in Delhi

AMMK's TTV Dinakaran meets Amit Shah for strategic talks ahead of Tamil Nadu polls, expresses confidence in NDA defeating the ruling DMK.

"The people of Tamil Nadu are ready to defeat the evil force known as the DMK. - TTV Dinakaran"

New Delhi, March 21

Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam General Secretary TTV Dinakaran on Saturday said that his meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi was focused on strategic planning for the upcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly elections and not on seat-sharing discussions, expressing confidence that the NDA would defeat the ruling DMK.

Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Dinakaran asserted that the opposition alliance is united and working towards a decisive victory in the state. "To defeat DMK, a strategic planning meeting was held in Delhi, that's it. We didn't speak on constituency details," he said, dismissing speculation about seat-sharing negotiations.

Launching a sharp attack on the ruling party, Dinakaran said, "The people of Tamil Nadu are ready to defeat the evil force known as the DMK," adding that public sentiment is turning against the incumbent government.

He also claimed that the frequent visits of NDA leaders to the national capital have unsettled the DMK leadership. "When NDA alliance leaders come to Delhi, DMK President MK Stalin gets fear," Dinakaran said.

Reiterating the structure of the alliance, he noted, "In Tamil Nadu, Edappadi K Palaniswami leads the NDA alliance and at the national level, BJP leads the alliance," underlining coordination between state and national leadership.

His remarks come amid an escalating political contest between the DMK-led alliance and the AIADMK-led NDA ahead of the April 23 Assembly elections. Dinakaran had earlier dismissed claims regarding seat-sharing talks, stating that only he was aware of the constituencies his party is seeking.

He also accused the DMK government of misappropriating funds and expressed confidence that voters would seek a change in leadership. The ruling DMK, however, has maintained that it remains in a strong position, with Stalin urging party workers to intensify preparations for the polls.

Tamil Nadu will vote in a single phase on April 23 for the 234-member Assembly, with counting scheduled for May 4.

All this talk of "strategic planning" and "evil force" sounds like typical election rhetoric. I wish politicians focused more on their actual plans for water management and job creation in Tamil Nadu, instead of just attacking each other. The voter is not a fool.

Dinakaran meeting Shah is a big development. The BJP's national machinery combined with local allies like AMMK could be a game-changer. DMK should not take the anti-incumbency lightly. April 23 will be very interesting!

As an observer, the dynamics in Tamil Nadu politics are fascinating. The claim that these meetings unsettle the DMK leadership shows how psychological warfare is part of the campaign. But ultimately, it will come down to local issues and candidate credibility.

He says no seat-sharing talks happened, but everyone knows that's the elephant in the room. If the NDA doesn't sort out constituencies amicably, they will split the anti-DMK vote and hand them the victory. Unity in speech is easy, unity on the ground is hard.

Hope this alliance brings some stability and development focus. The last few years have seen too much political drama. We need a government that works for the people of Tamil Nadu, not just for power. Jai Hind!
