Tamil Nadu Assembly polls: KN Nehru holds roadshow, door-to-door campaign in Tiruchirappalli

DMK Minister KN Nehru campaigns in Trichy West. Kanimozhi accuses BJP of stoking conflict as multi-cornered contest shapes up for April 23 vote.

"peace and communal harmony must be preserved - Kanimozhi Karunanidhi"

Tiruchirappalli, April 12

Tamil Nadu State Minister and Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam Principal Secretary KN Nehru on Sunday held a massive roadshow and door-to-door outreach as part of his election campaign in the Trichy West Assembly constituency.

Travelling in an open vehicle through key localities, Nehru conducted a street-by-street campaign, appealing to voters to back the DMK's Rising Sun symbol in the upcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly elections.

The roadshow witnessed participation from alliance partners, including the Congress, Communist Party of India (CPI), Communist Party of India (Marxist), and Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), reflecting the strength of the Secular Progressive Alliance (SPA) in the region.

Party workers and volunteers also carried out extensive door-to-door canvassing, engaging directly with residents and highlighting the DMK government's welfare measures and development initiatives.

The Trichy West constituency is expected to witness a keen contest, with the DMK-led alliance taking on rivals from the AIADMK-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA). Actor-turned-politician Vijay's Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), making its electoral debut, is also in the fray, adding a new dimension to the contest.

Meanwhile, senior DMK leader and MP Kanimozhi Karunanidhi, while campaigning in other parts of the state, accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of attempting to create "religious conflict" in Tamil Nadu. She urged voters to reject such politics, stating that peace and communal harmony must be preserved.

Kanimozhi also alleged that the BJP was taking undue credit for centrally sponsored schemes, including the Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana-Gramin, claiming that the Tamil Nadu government contributes a larger share of funding. She highlighted various state-led welfare and infrastructure initiatives, including drinking water projects, housing support, and educational improvements.

Tamil Nadu Assembly election is scheduled to be held in a single phase on April 23, with vote counting scheduled for May 4.

Good to see the SPA alliance strong on the ground. The DMK's welfare schemes, especially the Rs 1000 for women, have been a big help. We need a stable government that continues development work, not one that creates divisions.

Kanimozhi is absolutely right about the BJP trying to import their brand of politics here. Tamil Nadu has its own identity and has always valued social justice over religious polarization. Let's keep it that way.

The entry of Vijay's TVK is the most interesting part! It's a direct challenge to both the Dravidian majors. Young voters are looking for a fresh alternative. This election is going to be very unpredictable.

Observing from outside, it's fascinating how Tamil Nadu's political culture is so distinct. The emphasis on welfare and social justice in campaigns is quite pronounced compared to other states. The alliance arithmetic here is complex!

Credit war between state and centre is an old story. As a citizen, I just want the scheme to reach me, whoever funds it. Both governments should work together for implementation instead of political blame games.
