It is honestly wild how Tamil Nadu politics always follows the exact same script.
No matter the time period, whether it's 1980 or 2026, every aspiring politician treats the DMK like the ultimate heavy boxing bag. You’ve gotta punch as hard as you can just to prove you're in the ring. That playbook has been running for 45+ years straight.
That said, the @arivalayam has never won an election on public sympathy. They have always won when people simply wanted a change because they were fed up with the ruling establishment of the day. In other words, the DMK was always the people's default trusted fallback option.
The irony is that even though the DMK's governance, development, and welfare delivery outpace every other party that has ruled Tamil Nadu, a fact that even non-DMK critics concede in private, they somehow manage to shoot themselves in the foot. While in power, their over-the-top optics and putting the entire first family front and center everywhere you look end up alienating just enough voters to swing the pendulum right back.
Voter expectations in Tamil Nadu politics really come down to a double standard, but it makes total sense when you look at party DNA. Voters only want to see their actual leaders in the frame not an entire family taking up all the public space and oxygen.
Because the DMK was founded on grassroots activism, social reform, and anti-elitist roots, the public naturally expects its leaders to live simply and stay tightly connected to everyday people. They are supposed to be a "people's party" that actually sails right alongside the common man. If a DMK leader starts living a flashy, flamboyant life, the public instantly pushes back, because it completely betrays that foundational identity. This I believe has been the fundamental problem for the DMK.
Interestingly, voters hold parties like ADMK or even TVK to a totally different standard. Figures like MGR, Jayalalithaa, and now @TVKVijayHQ get a free pass on living flamboyant lives, avoiding the media, or keeping their distance. Because their appeal is built on cinematic star power and a cult of personality, people accept them as larger-than-life figures.
For the DMK, that playbook doesn't work. They don't have the luxury of acting like celebrity movie stars, or living that flamboyant life, the moment they stop looking like everyday activists or that common man, the electorate is quick to make them pay for it.
This is the harsh reality of Tamil Nadu politics. What do you guys think?

Dear Gen Z,
Never take these people as examples if you want to pursue a career in journalism.
Instead, go join Bajrang Dal/ABVP/ VHP/ RSS or TVK
Next option is make propaganda hatred movies like:

On behalf of Hon. Leader of Opposition Thiru Udhayanidhi Stalin, we have issued legal notices to Thiru Shiv Aroor of NDTV and Tmt Akshita Nandagopal of India Today for orchestrating a smear campaign and manufacturing a controversy by misquoting the Hon. LoP’s speech on the Cauvery water protests at Thanjavur.
The notice seeks a public apology, removal of the videos / broadcasts containing the defamatory content and damages of ₹100 crores which the LoP says will be donated to the farmers who have suffered losses due to non-release of Cauvery water.
The noticees have been requested to respond within 48 hours of receipt.

🚫Since when did Tamil Nadu become the capital of India?
🚫Why are India Today and a few other national channels camping in Chennai and covering Vijay’s news 24×7?
🚫Why is Madam Akshita leading the show and cracking “breaking news” on "Vijay" alone every single day?
🚫Why was she given the responsibility to host India Today Tamil despite her poor Tamil?
Trolls are abusers. They are everywhere.
Akshita is calling those who question her biased journalism as “trolls”..
once again playing the victim card.
Not just women… every social media activist faces trolls every day. It has become the new normal.

தொடரும் காவல் மரணங்கள். முதலமைச்சர் வாயைத் திறப்பது எப்போது?
எதிர்க்கட்சியாக இருக்கும் போது, “Sorry சொன்னால் போதுமா?” என என்னைப் பார்த்து வீராவேசமாக கேட்டவர், முதலமைச்சரானதும் அதைக் கூட செய்யத் துணிவின்றி எங்கு ஒளிந்துகொண்டிருக்கிறார்?
Accountability, Apology – முதலமைச்சருக்குப் பிடிக்காத வார்த்தைகளின் பட்டியலில் இருக்கிறதா?
உயிரிழந்தவர்களின் குடும்பத்தினருக்கு ஆறுதல் சொல்லக் கூட மனமிரங்காத படுபாதக த.வெ.க. அரசுக்கு வன்மையான கண்டனங்கள்!

NEET was introduced with three principal promises: (1) reduce the burden, (2) eliminate commercialisation, and (3) improve standards.
On every one of these counts, #NEET has failed. It has merely shifted the centre of learning from schools to coaching centres.
The problem with NEET has always been structural, not merely procedural. Recent events have vindicated that concern.
The ongoing student protests must serve as a wake-up call for the Union Government. It's time to trust the states. It's time to abolish NEET.
Read my op-ed in today's @The_Hindu: https://t.co/wFlPB09zUT
You cannot have both fairness and NEET.
NEET is fundamentally unfair.
While I cannot speak for every state, I can certainly speak for Tamil Nadu. Every political party in Tamil Nadu except the BJP opposes NEET. The Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly has repeatedly passed resolutions and Bills seeking exemption from NEET.
Stop defending the indefensible. #ScrapNEET once and for all.
Look out for my Op-ed in tomorrow's edition of @The_Hindu, where I set out in detail why NEET is fundamentally unfair and why it must be abolished.
The discrepancies in the translated NEET question papers have discriminated against non-Hindi speaking students. I urge all Chief Ministers of non-BJP ruling States to join together in opposing this unfair test on this ground also. (2/2) #NEETKillsPradeeba#BanNeet
The students' protest in New Delhi has now captured the attention of the entire country.
We were the first to warn that #NEET was designed to enable large-scale irregularities. That is why the DMK has opposed NEET from the very beginning, consistently pointing out the the dangers it poses.
Tamil Nadu, which led India in defending social justice and paved the way for the First Constitutional Amendment, has only one demand: #AbolitionOfNEET.
More than any other demand, the abolition of NEET must be at the heart of these protests. Only scrapping NEET will provide a lasting solution to all these problems. #BanNEET #SaveStudents
So @DelhiPolice can you come clean on Honey Dagar? Who is he? Where does he live? How was he beating up our kids alongside uniformed cops yesterday. Let’s track this man down I say.
Vijay's tvk government approached us so we resigned & joined TVK. - Vijaya bhaskar.
Dear akshita & shabbir, im sure both of you know tamil well enough to understand this... im curious to see whether you will respond or pretend you never saw it.
@Akshita_N@Ahmedshabbir20
Dear Akshita,
You got offended for me saying “YOU DON’T SPIN” your narrative on your show today. But see what you have SAID….
Let me leave it to the “X” viewers for their CONCLUSIVE DECISION….
Either you should be right @Akshita_N or someone else in this world….
