I cannot agree with the #DMK’s statement that they lost because of Instagram’s influence. I’m sorry, but your party has spent crores of rupees on Instagram, especially promoting welfare schemes through content creators on the platform. On top of that, many well-known YouTubers are reportedly on the party’s payroll, and your party supporters themselves have a solid subscriber base. YouTube ads and Facebook ads were rampant across multiple levels.
Almost all news channels and prime-time debate shows openly supported the DMK. Opinion polls and exit polls favoured you. Nearly all major dailies, except Dinamalar, backed the DMK, and most journalists appeared to support the party as well.
This is precisely the problem. The masses have clearly understood this partiality. They realised there was no level playing field for the AIADMK and TVK.
Even if these people genuinely supported you, it was widely perceived as a paid activity. The irony is that TVK spent very little on Instagram influencers or YouTube ads. Vijay’s fans often criticise the inactivity of the TVK IT wing, yet these same fans are the ones digging up old videos, creating their own edits, and spreading them across platforms. @TVKVijayHQ is truly blessed to have such dedicated, non-paid groups.
DMK was formed and thrived because of similar selfless youngsters. The major difference is that they were drawn in by Anna and his ideology, whereas TVK’s youngsters are attracted by Vijay’s charisma.
The truth is that DMK has lost those selfless youngsters. Today, most cadres and supporters expect something in return for being active in politics
except for a few. If DMK truly wants to understand what happened, this is it. Nothing more, nothing less.
மோடி அவர்கள் இந்த மண்ணில் கால் வைத்ததுமே உதயசூரியனே மறைந்துவிட்டதாம், மழை வந்துவிட்டதாம்! சொல்வது யாரு? நம்முடைய பழனிசாமி, பத்துத் தோல்வி பழனிசாமி! வாழ்க்கை முழுவதும் கால்களை மட்டுமே பார்த்துக்கொண்டு இருந்தால், சூரியன் எப்படி உங்கள் கண்களுக்குத் தெரியும் பழனிசாமி அவர்களே?

I have lived in an area in chennai for the past decade where it is absolutely top tier dangerous especially at night with hooligans and criminals who are mostly high on substance. Many innocent construction worker friends in my studio site were attacked several times recently. One such criminal who was apprehended was just laughing without any pain when the police lathi charged as he was stoned beyond limits. Moreover most of these attackers are proud racists and blanket hate/attack people from other states. It is high time we acknowledge that many local political factions and several ‘caste’ based groups come running to support these mostly young boys who end up ruining many lives along with theirs. Can we please accept the realities of these incidents and act more realistically and save so many victims ? The lines between glorified violence on screen and real incidents such as the recent one have really started blurring and it is high time we act responsibly. Me included .
The new unofficial official language of the Central Government appears to be Hindi words written in English letters
Hindi-only knowing people cannot read the script, English speaking people cannot understand the meaning
Tamil Nadu will never bow to hate!
While imported hate machines fuel riots for votes, #TamilNadu protects #harmony through #governance, not violence.
Tamil Nadu will not let anyone hijack our identity, divide our people, or turn sacred soil into a battleground for communal experiments.
#Unity is our culture. #Rationalism is our strength.
IndiGo fiasco is the cost of this Govt’s monopoly model.
Once again, it’s ordinary Indians who pay the price - in delays, cancellations and helplessness.
India deserves fair competition in every sector, not match-fixing monopolies.
By the time we finished six hours of the new season of The Family Man, Prime Video had force-fed us nearly three hours of ads despite having a paid subscription. At this point, Prime Video isn’t a streaming service, it’s an ad factory with some shows sprinkled in. TOTAL MESS.
