T.N. Assembly election: DMK will disprove claim that it can’t win consecutive term, says CPI(M) leader Shanmugam
P. Shanmugam, CPI(M) state secretary, believes the DMK-led alliance will win the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections due to its strong coalition, people-oriented welfare schemes, and public sentiment against the BJP government. He argues that the AIADMK's attempts at unity are merely a "broken pot" effort by the BJP to mend it. Shanmugam also suggests that the alliance has remained cohesive for eight years and is well-positioned to secure victory. The CPI(M) leader further states that they will seek a two-digit number of seats in seat-sharing talks with the DMK.
