The political landscape of Tamil Nadu is witnessing a storm, given that the state is set to undergo assembly elections in 2026. Chief Minister MK Stalin-led DMK faces the challenge of retaining its power, after a stellar performance in the Lok Sabha Polls 2024.<\/p>\n

The AIADMK-led NDA bloc, which included the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), attempts to find its lost ground after 2021, even though it performed ordinarily in the parliamentary elections.<\/p>\n
